Our specialized Lil' Dragons program is an age-specific curriculum that is professionally designed to teach children important life skills in a fun, exciting and enriching manner. Our secret to teaching your child coordination, concentration, and self-control is a unique method we like to call "Edu-Tainment". This uses the excitement and fun of the Lil' Dragons martial arts skills to teach key life lessons you would want your child to know. It's true that Lil' Dragons activities will keep your child physically fit and that many of the group activities show children the benefits of good behavior. But, best of all, your child's class curriculum will also help them see the value of teamwork, good manners and trying their best outside of the classroom. We Teach Our Lil' Dragons the Following: Focus Memory Teamwork Discipline Self Control Fitness Balance Coordination Lil' Dragons Reinforces Your Family Values: Many of the same concepts you are teaching your child at home will be consistently reinforced through classroom discussions in your child's program. Topics such as: good manners, respect for one's self and others, following directions the first time and more are taught! Personal Development Lessons: Valuable personal development lessons have been built into the Lil' Dragons curriculum. Your child will participate in discussions on: "Stranger Danger", "When to call 911", "Fire Safety", "Street Safety", and much more. Here's How Your Child Will Develop: At the end of each class, the students who can demonstrate the skills covered in that day's class receive a special skill stripe. The skill stripes are an achievement reward and work as an incentive for your child. Once your child has earned all 8 of the life skill stripes, they will move up to the next belt level. This helps your child see the benefit in trying their best. Lil' Dragons Helps Prepare Your Child For Life: Lil' Dragons will improve your child's basic motor skills, as well as your child's positive mental skills. These skills will help your child enter society with a confident and enthusiastic outlook. Your child will become a better student in school, a better listener at home and feel more ambitious towards his/her future goals. We believe the time between ages three and six are the most important years of a child's development.
