Curriculum
Ages 2-4: Spuds and Tots (Parent and Child)
An adult (18 & over) must accompany child onto the ice with ice skates on. The adult must have basic balance on skates while on the ice, as the adult is expected to support the child both physically and emotionally. The goal of this class is to provide a safe, supported environment for the young child to gain confidence on the ice while interacting through games and activities.
