The catch is that you normally have to make reservations for the daycare in advance. If your plans change during the day, or your child had so much fun in the morning session that she wants to continue in the afternoon, most ski areas will try to accommodate your wishes. Each program features it's own combination of lesson, ski equipment, and lunch. Some include only the lesson in the price. Others are all inclusive.
All ski areas offer private instruction.
Make sure that rental equipment and lift ticket are available for your child's use after her lesson. By finding out what is included in the price, you will avoid any unpleasant surprises. It is best to introduce your child to the ski area before his first time on skis. It's a new environment, the place is bustling with people dressed in bizarre clothing. All programs should allow you to view their facilities.
