Little Grasshopper Our Little Grasshoppers Program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving preschool-age children’s basic motor and listening skills. These skills will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic outlook. They will become better students at school, better listeners at home and more ambitious towards the future. We believe the years between the ages of three and seven are very important in a child’s development. Our program will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way. The Little Grasshoppers Program will also prepare your child for our Junior Martial Arts program. In the Little Grasshoppers classes, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. They will learn how to work with others and follow directions from their instructors. Our Little Grasshoppers Instructors are good role models who are trained specifically to work with preschool-aged children. The Little Grasshoppers curriculum consists of developing 8 Major Skills that are necessary for participation in any sport or activity. The curriculum also contains 8 Little Grasshoppers Personal Development Skills that are used to reinforce lessons learned at home. Upon completion of our Little Grasshoppers Program, your child will become focused and motivated to achieve any goal they set in life! Skill #1: FOCUS - This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills and reaction skills. He or she will excel faster in any physical activities. Your child will also become a better listener and a more focused student in school. Skill #2: TEAMWORK - Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. The more confident your child is in working with others, the more he or she will accomplish. Your child will develop character, which will help him or her make new friends and become a better leader in life. Skill #3: CONTROL - Having control means making good decisions. Whether your child is handling a pet or handling a problem, he or she will learn to make the right decisions. Control builds confidence. Skill #4: BALANCE - This skill is crucial to develop at an early age. Your child is beginning to participate in many physical activities that are challenging, like riding a two-wheel bicycle. Your child will develop good balance and better posture. Skill # 5: MEMORY - Developing a good memory is exercise for your child’s brain. The sooner your child exercises, the smarter her or she will become. Our drills are constantly helping your child think and make smart decisions. Skill # 6: DISCIPLINE - Our instructors use the Little Grasshoppers drills to help create the vision that discipline is fun and rewarding. Your child will take pride in doing the right thing. Your child will also follow directions better. Skill # 7: FITNESS - It is important for children to understand the importance of being healthy and physically fit. If your child does not burn off excess energy exercising, how will he or she burn off all that extra energy? Skill # 8: COORDINATION - The program will help your child learn left from right. He or she will become better physical participants in sports and activities. The better coordination your child has, the fewer injuries he or she will sustain. In our Little Grasshoppers classes, we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help your preschooler be the best they can be at everything they put their minds to. Our motto is “Little Grasshoppers today, leaders tomorrow.”   For an Introductory Class or more information contact Mrs. Evon Thornton: 410-810-8808
