Our son was displaced when the Plymouth NK closed. Hopkins NK welcomed him from the very beginning. The thing I appreciate most as a parent is that they always let you know what to expect for practice times, and any holiday closures well in advance. They encourage the students to get to know one another, which we really appreciate for our shy son. We love this place.

Although my son didn’t want to participate they were very good with trying to make him feel comfortable. Hopefully he will change his mind because they were great with him!
