We’re especially excited to introduce something brand new for our youngest skaters — Little Learners Ice Time! This program is designed with families in mind, giving parents and guardians the chance to help their kindergarten-aged (and younger) children learn to skate in a safe, relaxed, and welcoming environment.

Learning to skate is a milestone moment for many children, and Little Learners Ice Time creates the perfect setting to make those first steps on the ice fun and memorable. With no pressure and plenty of space to explore, children can move at their own pace while parents stay close by to lend a steady hand and lots of encouragement.

Sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00am – 1:00pm, making it a great activity to fit into your week. Whether you’re looking to introduce your little one to the ice for the very first time or simply give them more opportunities to practice, these sessions provide consistency, routine, and lots of room to grow.

To help make the experience easier, we’ll have training aids available to borrow at no extra cost. These supportive tools allow children to find their balance more quickly, build confidence step by step, and, most importantly, have fun while learning.
