We ask parents to stick around during lessons, but there’s plenty to do in the area before or after class. Our location at McHenry Road and Lake Cook Road sits in a shopping plaza with Jewel-Osco, The UPS Store, Jersey Mike’s, and the AT&T Store.
When it’s time for a meal, swing by Giordano’s for their famous stuffed pizza or grab a Whopper and chicken nuggets for the kids at Burger King across the street. Need to mail a package? The post office is nearby. Or stop by Deerfields Bakery for a little pick-me-up—or a dozen donuts for Saturday morning.
