Why Manhattan Families Drive Here
One Class For Every Age
Is The Problem.
Manhattan families drive for most activities anyway, so the question isn't distance — it's whether the drive is worth it. Here's the honest answer: if your child is 3, 6, 8 or 12, they need four different classes, and almost nobody nearby runs them separately.
We do. Early, Basic, Core and Extreme SKILLZ each teach eight named developmental skills scaled to that age band, and every stripe on the belt is earned against a skill, not attendance. Manhattan-Elwood and Lincoln-Way West families come north on Route 52 to Laraway Road, roughly twelve minutes, most often for the 5–6 and 7–9 classes.
