Summit County Drop-In Childcare Options
Going out of town with small children, especially to an unfamiliar place can be a daunting experience. One hiccup many families experience is finding safe and reliable childcare for their little ones so the adults and/or adults and older children can spend some quality time together exploring adventuring and living their best mountain life.
I’m not going to lie, securing safe and reliable child care here in Summit County will likely take some effort and it’s going to come at a cost, but the good news is there are quite a few options! Those who start the childcare search early and plan ahead of time will more than likely find success.

Summit County Colorado Parents - Facebook Group
This is a great resource to get more connected with the local community. Oftentimes Summit County parents will watch additional children in their homes or have suggestions on who you can contact regarding your childcare needs. Remember! It’s always advised that you complete your own investigation into a person’s credentials, training, and background prior to leaving your child with them. I’ve even heard of families with similar aged children connecting through this site and doing childcare trades!
Other Possible Area Child Care Possibilities Keystone Science School
Home to Science, Adventure, & Fun!. KSS offers week-long day camp programs during the summer months for kids entering grades K-5 and grades 6-8.
A science based summer day camp located in Breckenridge for children ages 5-12.
Prior to Covid in 2020 Keystone Resort offered drop-in childcare for children ages 2 months to 6 years of age during the winter ski season. To my knowledge this service has not returned, but it may in the future, so it might be worth checking in to.
Loveland Ski Area - Although not located in Summit County, Loveland ski area is very close by and might be a good fit for your family, so I thought I’d share some information on what Loveland has to offer.
Licensed childcare facility with trained staff offering age appropriate toys, games, arts and crafts, time outside playing in the snow, and healthy lunch and snacks will combine to make sure your child has a fun experience while in their care.
