"Our son Conor, now 6yrs old has been attending classes at Dardano's since he was 3. Starting with the preschool class and now a part of the boys 6 through 12 class. The coaches and staff affiliated with our experience has been extremely welcoming and nurturing toward our son. Not only does our son attend the weekly group sessions, but he is now taking a 1 hour private session with Coach Scott to accelerate his individual progression. He is working towards joining the preteam class next year and we couldn't be more thrilled with his progress, and our affiliation with Dardano's!"
