Little Dragons

The Little Dragons Program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving pre-school age children's basic motor and listening skills. These skills will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They wil become better students at school, better listeners at home, and more ambitious towards the future. We believe the time between the ages of 4 and 6 are the most important year's of a child's development. Our program will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way.

The Little Dragons Program will also prepare your child for our Children's Martial Arts Program. In the LD classes, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. They will learn how to work with others and follow directions from our instructors. Our LD Instructors are good role models who are trained specifically to work with pre-school age children.

The LD curriculum consists of developing 8 major motor skills that are necessary for participation in any  sport or activity. The curriculum also contains 8 LD personal development skills that are used to reinforce family values. Upon completion of our LD program, your child will become focused and motivated to achieve any goal they set in Life!
