During the month of May, the Children's Grove facility will be open on a special request basis. Kindly email the resort at ldbreservations@rosewoodhotels.com with your dates of stay and names and ages of your children and we will be delighted to work up a plan to educate and engage your children. The day program is complimentary; the evening program is administered at posted rates. Please provide 24-hours advance notice so that our staff can customize an experience for our young visitors.

The children's program at Rosewood Little Dix Bay reflects the same thoughtfulness and focus on environmental appreciation espoused by Laurance S. Rockefeller in the founding days of the resort. Set amongst the shade of a mahogany preserve is the Children's Grove, where creative and indigenous activities delight children of all ages. With over 2,500 sq. ft. of interior space, the Children's Grove is unique in the Caribbean. The facility boasts a miniature Caribbean chattel house, dress-up parlor, arts and crafts center, "monkey lounge," shipwreck, outside play area and many other exciting, tropical activities.

Led by experienced, fun-loving and caring staff, children participate in nature walks, shell collecting, treasure hunts and other recreations that bring them in direct contact with Little Dix's beautiful environs. Children may also delight in stone painting, Caribbean folk art and literature and West Indian musical instrument crafts, all of which will become precious mementos of their visit.

Hours of Operation
The Children's Grove is open Monday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and 6-9:30 p.m. On Wednesdays and Fridays parents may also leave their children with a counselor between 4:30 p.m. (5:00 p.m. in the summer) and 6:00 p.m. if they are partaking in the resort's Sunset Cocktail Cruise (24-hour advance notice is required).

Register at the Children's Grove for Morning and Full-Day programs between 9-9:30 a.m., Afternoon program between 1-1:30 p.m., and Dinner and Evening programs by 4:00 p.m. of the same day.

The program is designed for children over the age of three. Children must be out of diapers to participate in the program without a parent or nanny in attendance. Registration is daily from 9:00 a.m. Counselors will share details of the program at that time with parents or guardians. Parents are required to sign a registration/waiver form for their child before the program commences.

Rates
Full-Day Program – Complimentary (includes 2 snacks)
Evening Program  $20 per child. Children may dine with counselor for an additional charge (included if on a meal plan)

Teenagers
Within the Children's Grove is a Teen Room with a range of CD's and videos. This air-conditioned private area also houses a lending library of paperbacks and board games. Use of the Teen Room is complimentary. Special activities for teenagers may also be arranged upon request.

Nannies Fee
Little Dix Bay is happy to offer our guests a selection of nannies. However, the nanny is not hired by the resort for this service. They are hired and paid for directly by the guest at the time of the care. A minimum 24-hours notice is requested so we may appropriately meet your family's requirements (however we will do everything possible to fill your needs at any time). Rates are approximately $12 per hour for up to two related children, plus $3 per hour for one additional related child (maximum of three children per nanny; maximum of two if children are both under three years old). If you need further information or wish to arrange for a nanny, please contact the Children's Grove at ext. 302.

Dining
Children's menus are available in the Beach Grill for lunch and in The Pavilion for dinner, or through Room Service. Children under the age of 10 are not permitted in the Sugar Mill. Children over three years of age may also dine with a counselor from the Children's Grove Monday through Saturday. Reservations are required. High chairs and booster chairs are available for use in the dining rooms.

Monday Evening Pirate Party
A complimentary children's Pirate Party and buffet is held every Monday at the same time as the Manager's Cocktail Reception. Parents are respectfully asked to refrain from bringing young children to the party.
