The teachers are fantastic and are able to adjust to your schedule. We will be back in a couple of months when hockey season finishes.

They let us come for a free session to try it out and my son loved it. He was 18 months and we decided to wait till he is 2 to start classes but we are super excited to start them in the spring! They were very patient with my very excitable son during class and I think he even learned something at such a young age.
