Deer Valley Academy

Pre-school and Child Care for children ages two months to four years 

 New Playground


When Deer Valley Resort opened its doors as a ski resort in December 1981, it included an innovative concept at that time -- a state-licensed child care facility for guests' non-skiing children.  In an article in the guest newsletter, Deer Tales, dated November 1981, it was explained that "Deer Valley's Child Care Center will offer more than just a 'babysitting service.' Special developmental programs are being designed for the children so that their stay at the Center will be a learning experience as well as an enjoyable one."

Deer Valley Academy's Mission Statement is that it will,  "...in partnership with participating parents, ensure that all children enrolled receive a solid foundation for future educational success."
