Hi Elaine
Rila is great for kids as right beside everything. However for a 5 year old they tend to push them towards the kindergarden. It depends on your child whether they are quite sporty and want to do everything the older ones do. An option we took with our 5 year old last year was to take private lessons for him as they don't teach proper skiing in the kindergarden its really only a babysitting service which I didn't like. At 5 they are well able to learn and our son was zooming past us after only a couple of days.
