We create an environment that's fun and safe, while giving your child the opportunity to build physical and cognitive skills. As parents, we all want to give our children the best start in life. We invest in educational materials, parenting courses, and more. But there is a lot to consider and it can be overwhelming. The key to your child’s cognitive growth is found in two essential elements: a safe environment and learning through guided play. It is through these activities that children develop the skills and courage to take on new challenges. At Goldfish Swim School, we understand this concept and have developed our swimming lessons with this philosophy in mind. Our approach is based on the understanding that kids learn best when they are having fun. We create an environment that is both rewarding and safe, while also providing children with the opportunity to grow both physically and cognitively. This way, we can help your child unlock their potential and get the best start in life.

Christopher Laughlin’s dream of creating a premier music school became reality in 1996 when he opened the doors to the Christopher Laughlin School of Music. Located in Glenview, IL, the school began as the Christopher Laughlin Classical Guitar Studio in a single room. With years of success as a performing classical guitarist, having toured across North America and in 25 nations on five continents, Christopher Laughlin was already an in-demand guitar teacher. With the founding of the school, he could consolidate most of his teaching into one location. As the school grew, Christopher added more teachers, more lesson programs, and more space. His vision of creating a premier music school came to fruition and today the Christopher Laughlin School of Music is still going strong. With a wide range of lessons and programs for all ages and skill levels, the school strives to be a leader in music education.
