Lessons for a 5-year-old

What are our options for lessons for a 5-year-old girl? She can't be in our group since none of us are beginners, so do I just send her off with another group? Are there groups just for kids? Or should I just hire a private instructor?

Thanks!

From what age will a Private ski instructor teach. I have my 3 year old travelling with us to Pamporovo and would like her to ski as I am sure there are not ski schools for her. Can anyone recommend a nice instructor?

at both of those ages, i would put them in with a kids group, It is most important that they enjoy it, they will probably get bored with just learning to ski. The kids groups play games on skis and things like that.

I know they do it in Bansko, so i am sure the other resorts do too

One to one lessons at Interski - Pete was brill with my 4 yr old last year and she took to the pilot poles well. There is also a kindergarten there although they don't do much skiing. I would combine some short 1 to 1 lessons with kindergarten care.

Thanks everyone!
My daughter went to kindergarten last year and didn't really like it, so I think we'll go with a group this year just for the fun aspect of it.

Does anyone know of an instructor in Pamporov who would be interested in teaching a three year old to ski? It would be preferable if it were a female - not that I care, but I think my daughter might! Travelling on 13 Feb.
