WE UNDERSTAND THAT PARENTS IN OTTAWA HAVE A BUSY SCHEDULE. We're Here to Help!
Each day consists of going to work, picking the kids up from daycare and getting dinner ready fast enough to run right back out the door for evening activities. Not to mention that the kids' homework still needs to be completed. Unfortunately, all this rushing around doesn't leave much room for family time.
Our after school program will solve this.
Our martial arts after school program engages students in a fun learning environment to inspire them to become intellectually vibrant, compassionate and responsible citizens.
Our after school students:
- Will receive a healthy snack each day
- Complete their homework
- Participate in 3 to 5 martial arts classes a week
The program also includes full day care on PA days for all schools and after school care on snow days (transportation on snow days is dependent on the school).
WE BRING OUT YOUR CHILD'S BEST
Yes, we have rules (and they’re important). Our classes are far from your average run-around-screaming, coach-pulling-his-hair-out, free-for-all kid’s activity. You’ll immediately see your child enveloped in a culture of excellence, a place where we expect the best out of our students. This actually makes it EASIER for your child to reach the kind of goals we all want.
When they step onto the mat they’ll be surrounded by other children who are on the same path of excellence, and that’s more helpful than you can imagine.
YOUR CHILD WILL GAIN
Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem
Confidence, especially in our martial arts classes, is the difference between what a child can actually do vs. what they think they can do. You’ll see them grow more and more confident, and confront new
challenges both inside and outside of our school.
The most important thing your child will get in our classes is a tremendously positive sense of self. They’ll be able to objectively recognize things they need to improve (homework, family interaction, physical effort), and they’ll take pride in the things they get right. This will be invaluable for them as adults.
Strength: Mentally, Emotionally & Physically
If they ever need it, your child will absolutely be able to defend themselves physically. But far more importantly, they’ll be able to fend off the mental onslaught of peer pressure and the emotional weight of bullying and unkind behavior. These are skills they’ll desperately need as they grow older.
An Appreciation for Exercise
If you want your kids to stay healthy, they have to enjoy their exercise. Our classes are so much fun, your child will beg to come. They’ll actually love doing pushups, jumping jacks and crunches. They’ll take pride in their improved flexibility and stamina, and they’ll leave class everyday sweating and smiling.
