Superior Child Care is...
Located at Level 1 (Locker) Floor of the Cliff Lodge in Snowbird.
To thrive, children need lots of one-on-one attention, being held, talked to and rocked. That means 2 to 3 children (up to 24 months) per caregiver is our policy and followed. For children ages 2 years old and up, we strive for a ratio for 6-8 children per teacher.
We offer, TOP Star rated, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. The meals are a variety of options, kid approved and tasty. We know the importance of feeding our children healthy and nutritious food, which is why we strive to purchase organic and GMO free products whenever possible.
At Superior Child Care, we are committed to providing exceptional, flexible, and high-quality childcare that nurtures each child's individuality while fostering creativity and adventure. With a seamless blend of fun, education, and reliable care offered 7 days a week, our seasonal and year-round programs ensure children are inspired and supported as their families enjoy everything Snowbird has to offer.

Flexible Scheduling at Our Childcare Center
Our reservation system currently only allows you to pick either full-day or half-day care. If you're interested in a combination of both, we recommend reserving full-day childcare for all the days you might need, as you’ll only pay for the actual time your child is in care at the end of your stay. We understand that plans often change, especially during vacations when managing schedules with children can be unpredictable. That’s why our childcare program is designed to provide maximum flexibility and peace of mind for families.
Flexible Reservations: You can easily adjust your plans as needed. If you’ve initially booked a half-day and decide you need a full day of care, you can seamlessly extend your reservation at any point during your stay. With this pay-as-you-go flexibility, you can confidently plan your vacation, knowing your childcare needs are fully accommodated. Let’s face it, your little one is our favorite collateral. We know they’ll have such a great time that you’ll love the flexibility as much as we do.

OUR SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
Guests evaluation of the service we provide is, as a parent myself, an indication of what to expect.
Ilse and her staff are AMAZING. As a new mom, it was a bit nerve-wracking to think about choosing someone to care for my child. However, my son has thrived under Ilse's care. She carefully selects her employees and ensures that they are well-trained, caring, and responsible. I am so thankful for the care she provides my son, and I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.
- Bethany F.
“This is a very professionally run care center. It is clean, healthy and compassionate.
The owner and workers understand kids and give the best possible care!”

Seriously one of the best child care facilities I've ever experienced. Second only to the child care at Alta!! Ilse is amazing and takes excellent care of every child. She sends pictures and updates which keeps my mommy heart carefree!
- Sarah P.
... I’m so wonderfully surprised by all the improvements [Ilse] has made and I would absolutely recommend using her two little cottonwood locations if you feel like venturing at snowbird or Alta.
