The Toddlers on Ice (TOI) Program introduces our youngest skaters to the ice and can prepare them for our Learn to Skate USA Group Lesson Program or lifelong recreational skating.

Toddlers, ages 18 months through four years, with the reassuring presence of their caregiver adult, are welcomed inside a playful and relaxed environment, a place to explore large motor development, and where an interest in the sport of ice skating is cultivated in a positive atmosphere. Each week is themed (i.e. “bugs”; “seasons”; “holidays”; “colors”) and follows a one-hour format.
