At Skip & Scoot, we're dedicated to empowering children to develop a lifelong love of movement and physical activity. As a whole child-focused movement education company, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to discover the joy of exercise and develop essential physical, emotional, and emotional skills.
Our Story
Our journey began with a passion for teaching kids fitness through play. Our founder, Luci Grause, has a background in physical education and has spent years designing and implementing innovative kid's fitness curricula. With a Masters of Physical Education from Columbia University Teachers College, Luci has taught prek-12 physical and health education in DC area public schools, as well as served as head coach for a varsity high school field hockey team.
Our Philosophy
At Skip & Scoot, we believe that physical play stimulates exponential growth in your child's brain. We believe that movement education should be playful, engaging, and fun. Our philosophy centers around blending the developmental needs of your whole child with the curiosity and enjoyment of movement. Everything we teach is intentional, while also remaining playful and fun.

Testimonials
Don't just take our word for it - check out what some of our happy customers have to say about our services:
- "This class is great for every type of toddler. Luci always has different activities within her structure that appeals to everybody. Luci is the best part of the class. She works to build a group rapport with the kids and caregivers as well as individual relationship with each child. She is knowledgeable about physical milestones and challenges for each age group. She helps caregivers look for ways to assist the child at class and at home. She is so fun and sweet that everyone likes her." - Arlette
- "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!" - Anne
