"My now five year old daughter stayed at Treasures when she was 2-1/2. I was so impressed with the facility and staff then, that I had no hesitation in dropping off my 5 month old triplets during this vacation." ~ Pamela from Mattapoisett, MA

TREASURES -
Child Care for ages 6 weeks to 3 years at Smugglers' Notch Resort

Smugglers' million-dollar child care center!



Over the years, Smugglers' has been single-minded in its approach to providing exceptional family vacations. That's why we built our state-of-the-art child care center - TREASURES. We have created a wonderland for infants and toddlers that is more accessible and more convenient for parents. Most importantly, while your children frolic in this fully-certified center, you can rest assured that we continue to care for them with the same dedication and professional staff that has always been here for your family.

At TREASURES your infants and toddlers are in good hands with our caring counselors. Our staff are trained in first aid, CPR, child development and behavior management.
