Our programs provide fun movement games, kid-friendly obstacle courses, sensory experiences, and action songs to promote fitness for your child's brain and body!. Science says there is a strong relationship between the level of physical activity a child gets and their brain development. Simply put, movement practice and mastery causes brain growth, along with all of the other physical and emotional benefits of early exercise.
At Skip & Scoot, we keep your children moving, laughing, and learning and we are so grateful to do the work we do!

Meet the owner of Skip & Scoot, Luci Grause! She holds a Masters in Physical Education from Columbia University and specializes in designing innovative kid's fitness programs. My personal mission is to inspire a love for exercise in children which will benefit their lives for years to come.
Playing with my own kids and showing them the immediate benefits of physical activity is something that I do as often as possible, and I'm thrilled to do the same for our Chicago community.Today, kids experience a world full of touch-screens and unhealthy food choices, which fuels my motivation to keep little ones physically active, socially competent, and well nourished!

Babies are constantly learning about the world around them! In this class we will introduce your little one to new aspects of movement, including rolling (vestibular/ balance practice), level changes, midline crossing, bilateral coordination, emotions and facial expressions, spatial awareness, sensory play, and listening and moving to various musical beats!

Miss Luci is AMAZING! I am a nanny that has taken my little one for two sessions now. Honestly my favorite class in the city. Miss Luci is engaging, energetic, encouraging, and super knowledgeable about developmental milestones. I saw a huge improvement in my little one’s listening and motor skills at the end of the session. Also the classes are safe and Covid cautious. Teddy and I can’t wait to be back at Skip and Scoot!

Miss Luci was an incredibly kind, engaging, organized and spirited teacher at my daughters' joint 2nd and 5th birthday party this past weekend. She helped me identify a prime shaded location to host the party, made communication with guests a breeze, and managed to keep a group of 12 kids of varying ages from 16 months to 8 years old active and entertained. Both girls commented that they loved the activities, especially the parachute popcorn. We're so glad we chose Skip & Scoot for our birthday party!

My daughter is OBSESSED with Skip & Scoot. We’ve done private and public classes. Ms. Luci brings wonderful energy to the class and also ends the class with powerful self-affirmations to instill confidence. My daughter never wants the class to end- she literally stays extra to clean up because she is so in love with the class! Highly recommend!

Luci held a semi-private class for our 7 and 9 year old sons along with our friend who also have a 7 and 9 year old son. This was the perfect outlet for my sons - especially during a time where many activities were limited and restricted! They looked forward to attending their Skip and Scoot class with Ms. Luci every week. Luci found the perfect spot in Oz Park to host our class and she had the perfect equipment to make each class both fun, challenging and different! Luci is extemely creative, patient, friendly and welcoming, and we would recommend Skip and Scoot to anyone! We look forward to joining

My two year old (plus a few months) has been doing classes with Skip & Scoot since she was about 18 months old and I can't say enough about the classes and about Miss Luci. Skip & Scoot classes are full of fun obstacle courses, activities, music, singing, dancing, stories and more. The bubbles at the end of class are always a favorite for my mini. Oh and the stamp... she loves to have her stamp that all of the kids receive at the end. These classes are great for entertaining and also exhausting my toddler - she always takes a good nap after a Skip & Scoot class. ;-) And if

Wow! What a fun class! My two year old had the best morning ever with Ms. Luci and his Little Fitness Adventures classmates. Lots of songs, shaker eggs and toys, and a really cute obstacle course that no one wanted to end. Major bonus that all the activities seemed to have a real foundation in child brain development. We can't wait for our next class!

What a great class for toddlers and preschoolers! Not only does my 2.5 year have a blast and burn energy with each class, but Luci is a great instructor and I am always learning something as a parent. If you get the chance to join a class then do! They also offer birthday party packages which sounds like a lot of fun too!

You can tell this is her passion / dream -- she's in it because she LOVES doing this and it's her mission to help folks find new ways to be a fit family having fun together! Thank you, Luci! Can't wait for our next one!
