The Tiny Tiger program is
specifically designed for children between 4 and 6 years of age. We
understand that children of this age group learn best by playing games. Their
comparatively short attention span requires a wide variety of fun activities
and an enthusiastic instructor. The games, activities, and class discussions
are designed to develop coordination, self-control, and social skills.
The motto of the Tiny Tiger
program is that every kid is special and every kid is a winner. This motto,
combined with our rule of giving sincere and realistic praise, builds
confident students.
Taekwondo is a fun and
exciting way for children to learn discipline, integrity, and respect.
Children of all types – extroverted or introverted, athletic or uncoordinated,
focused or distractible, tranquil or hyperactive – can enjoy and benefit from
Taekwondo.
Our curriculum
includes: Songahm Taekwondo, Life Skills, Bully Prevention, and Safety NET
Kids.
Songahm Taekwondo
– This is the physical curriculum including stances, kicks, blocks, and
strikes. These techniques are organized into patterns of moves called forms
for display and the development of memorization and focus. Practicing these
techniques individually or in forms develops coordination, strength, and
flexibility.
Life Skills
– Each month, we discuss one of nine Life Skills: Courtesy, Attitude, Goals,
Respect, Honor, Perseverance, Loyalty, Self-Control, and Integrity. The
instructor leads the students in understanding how these Life Skills are
important at home, at school, and at Taekwondo.
The kids are rewarded with
stars to display on their Victory-Patch for showing these Life Skills. êBlue
stars reward home reports of good behavior and attitude. êRed
stars reward regular Taekwondo attendance and participation. êGold stars reward academic achievement or improvement.
êSilver
stars reward community service and extracurricular activity.
Bully Prevention
– This curriculum teaches kids how to prevent being bullied by teaching them
how to Be A Builder (Lesson 1), Make Good Friends & Be A Good Friend
(Lesson2), and Walk & Talk With Confidence (Lesson 3).
Safety NET Kids
– This curriculum is a step toward the prevention of child abduction and
molestation. It is kid-friendly and is presented in a way that does not scare
children. The kids learn when it’s okay to say no: to strangers, to bribery
in an abduction attempt, or to inappropriate touch. They learn how to be safe
when dealing with strangers, playing in the front yard or at the park, staying
at home alone, and answering the door or phone.
