Future Kidz Prep Program (3-4)
Children between the ages of 3 & 4-years old are
in a very distinct growing stage. They are embarking on new discoveries
everyday and learning how to cope with all of the challenges in
everyday life. Their intellect, emotions, physical capabilities, and
social
competence all are growing at a rapid rate. So fast, that they often
overlook what is important and can hardly tell the difference between
right and wrong.
That’s where the Future Kidz Prep Course Program comes into
play. Our program was specially designed for the stages of development
of 3 & 4-year olds. We have collected scientific and psychological
resources regarding this age group, and used that information to ensure
that our program meets each child’s characteristics and capabilities.
In the Future Kidz Prep Course Program, each child will experience
training that targets the skills that they are currently developing;
skills such as large and gross motor skills, behavior development,
and character development. These skills have been broken down into
age-specific exercises, games, activities, and drills that complement
their stage of development.
We use the martial arts approach to building their skills through
these drills. The approach includes reinforcing good discipline, displaying
confidence, and maintaining a positive attitude. Technical martial
arts training is very limited when it comes to traditional moves and
techniques; we reserve that portion of development for the older children
who have set a clear foundation of what we consider the preliminary
requirements to martial arts training.
Both gross and fine motor skills are developed through the Future
Kidz Prep Course program. The following breakdown of motor skills,
