I have skied at Geilo many times with my family. I have been told that Geilo is the oldest downhill ski resort in the world and that Dr Holms is the oldest ski-in ski-out hotel. Fly to Oslo/Bergen and take the train (easy to book online in English); one of the top 10 train journeys in the world. The resort is a brilliant place to learn to ski. The instructors are multilingual and very good with children. The runs are not challenging for advanced skiers but the cold crisp snow creates a perfect environment to improve technique.
