From walking to skating: the fundamental steps
Tiny Tots 2 centers on initiating movement on the ice—students practise pushing off, balancing on each foot and transitioning from walking to gliding. Progress is structured so young skaters steadily gain control and confidence.
Plenty of coaching and safety focus
Sessions place a clear emphasis on coaching support and keeping the environment fun and safe for 3–6 year olds, so instructors can guide early movers through each new skill.
Short, focused lessons for young attention spans
Lessons are intentionally brief and focused to match the needs of toddlers and preschoolers, giving them repeated, supported practice of core skills like stopping and balance without overloading their attention.
What the day feels like
What the eight‑week arc feels like
Each class is a compact, coached session where children move through small, achievable drills: warming up on the spot, learning to push and glide, and rehearsing stops and single‑foot balance. Over eight weeks the emphasis shifts from simply staying upright to initiating controlled movement and basic stopping techniques, all delivered in a supportive rink environment.
