Werneri's preschool for 4-year-olds! (2x90min)
Saturdays and Sundays during one weekend.
We have created 2 x 90-minute long Werneri's Preschool for 4-year-olds, which helps four-year-olds take their first steps on skis in a flock of the same age. We can also assess whether the child is ready for the LumiWerneri course during this season. The teachers of Werneri Preschool give their honest opinion on whether SnowWerneri is the right solution for your child this season. It is important that the child experiences feelings of realization and success in the right reference environment and at the right goal level. In our course calendar, you can find the schedules of Werneri Preschool for this season. The goal of the preschool is to create readiness for SnowWerneri, stopping at the marked place and the first turns from the mid exit point of the children's slope carpet lift. On this course, adults are more than welcome to follow the teaching, for help and emotional support.
