5 Reasons to Enroll Your Child in the Frosty Friends Program This Season
If you’ve been wondering whether ice skating is the right activity for your toddler or young child, the answer is yes—especially when it’s with our Frosty Friends program at the Skating Club of Hingham. Designed just for beginners, Frosty Friends introduces kids to skating in a safe, playful, and encouraging environment. Not only will your child learn the basics of balance and movement on the ice, but they’ll also gain confidence, friendships, and skills that extend far beyond skating. Here are five reasons why this program is the perfect way to start their skating journey this season.
1. A Fun & Gentle Introduction to Skating
Frosty Friends is built around fun. Young skaters are introduced to the ice through games, activities, and exercises that make learning exciting instead of intimidating. This playful approach helps toddlers feel comfortable while sparking a lifelong love for skating. For children with hockey or figure skating in mind, this program lays the groundwork for essential skills they’ll need later on.
2. Development of Balance, Coordination, and Motor Skills
Early childhood is the perfect time to build coordination and motor skills. Skating challenges kids to use their whole body—improving balance, agility, and strength. These benefits carry over into other sports, including hockey and figure skating, where agility, edge control, and precision are key.
3. A Safe and Supportive Learning Environment
At the Skating Club of Hingham, safety is always a priority. Our experienced instructors understand how to work with toddlers and young children, offering guidance at every step. From the proper equipment to small group attention, we make sure every child feels secure and supported on the ice–whether their goal is to enjoy skating for fun, prepare for hockey, or begin a figure skating journey.
4. Building Confidence and Independence
There’s nothing like the smile on a child’s face when they take those first independent glides. Frosty Friends gives kids the chance to achieve small wins that build self-esteem and independence. Parents often see their child’s confidence in the ice spilling over into other areas of life –and for those interested in hockey or figure skating, this confidence helps make the leap to the next level much smoother.
5. Making Friends and Creating Lasting Memories
The program isn’t just about skating; it’s about community. Kids make new friends while parents connect with other families in the area. Many families look back at Frosty Friends as the place where their child’s love of skating—and some lifelong friendships—began.
