His confidence has grown and we look forward to seeing his future progress and success . Would recommend to all families in the area .
Janice D.
My child has been coming here for about a month. They has been enjoying it and learning new skills. I enjoy their programming because it targets all areas of the kids lives. So far they have been awesome at making their bed every morning (wasn’t doing this before). We have also been teaching them positive affirmations and gratitude. They absolutely loves Kristy who did their intro class with. Kristy has also been so super responsive to emails and questions whenever I have any (thank you always).

Frequently Asked Questions
How old does my child have to be to begin classes?
Our Little Dragons program is designed specifically for 4 to 6 year olds. We know that every child develops at a different pace, so there are situations where a child younger than 4 is ready to start. The best way to know, is to schedule a 1-on-1 Introductory Lesson, and see how they do.
How often does my child have to attend class?
We have found that 2 classes per week is good for kids ages 4 to 6. They need the reinforcement of what is taught so they can improve on each of the skills. One time a week isn't enough to help them learn and develop the Life Skills we teach.
What should my child wear to their first class?
For your child's first lesson, wear comfortable athletic clothing. They will be moving around and learning some basic martial arts techniques, but will not be sweating or tired.
How do I sign up or schedule a lesson?
You can schedule an Introductory Lesson through our website's registration page. Alternatively, you can visit our school in person or call us for assistance. Our staff will be happy to help you find the best option to start your child's journey.
