If youre coming for a toddler program here I highly rec it! Thats what I come for and I get the best service. The instructor Larissa is great. My son is on his second instruction with her and is already getting up on his own after a fall. What really sets this place apart however is the director of the learn to skate program. She truly is professional, courteous, friendly and is always learning to lend a helping hand. She has truly been instrumental for me after feeling defeated after the first lesson. Kudos to you for all of your hard work and dedication!

First day of lessons- I was terrified for my 5 year old, but the staff assured me that my son would be fine and would enjoy skating. Third time on the ice ever- he struggled, but came out smiling. The teachers and the director have a lot on their hands, but are obviously experienced and extremely professional. They definitely love what they do- because they made him so happy despite his lack of experience; he cant wait for next time! I am so happy we chose this venue to teach my son how to skate. He didnt want to get off the ice- and he spent a lot of time on it! Ha! Thank you for a great
