Default Young Child Skating Lessons (3-4 yrs)

My daughter, who turns 4 this month, wants to take skating lessons. I've taken her skating a few times, but she is a stickler for a "lesson" environment. She loves the teacher who is not Dad; everything from swimming to preschool, she loves the teacher environment.

We live on an acreage just west of the city. Is the best place to get lessons at Crowchild Twin Arena? On their website, they say priority is given to residents of Scenic Acres, so will we even get in?

The program they run looks to be the lead in to CanSkate program. Is this the program I want to aim towards?

I'm thankful for any help...

No idea about Calgary but just my thoughts on Canskate.

I've got 2 boys in the Canskate program in Ottawa for a year now a nearly 4 and a 5.5 year old.
No complaints at all. Both love it.

Works with about 5 groups of about 6-8/group dependent on ability to skate and they seem to be quite good at recognising ability and moving the kids up if they're developing. Usually a teacher and teenager per group.

Just my observations but the girls seem to catch on quicker.

We take our kids to the University. It's a great location for lessons but parking sometimes is a little far from the Oval.

We really like the program but I have no idea how it compares to Canskate. You can check it out on-line.
