After School Program

BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL LICENSED CHILDCARE

GET STARTED

Welcome to our Licensed Before and After School Childcare Program.

We have combined childcare with our martial arts program so that kids could be active after school. Every day the kids get to do a martial arts class taught by qualified instructors. It’s a win for parents. You get to stay at work knowing that your child is in a program where they are burning their energy and growing in a discipline that can have massive impact on their life for years to come.

We currently service
the following schools

  • Sardis Elementary
  • Evans Elementary
  • Tyson Elementary
  • Watson Elementary
  • Unsworth Elementary
  • Vedder Elementary

Our childcare program includes pick up and drop off at school, pro d-days, half days, and a martial arts class each day. The gym is open at 7am and closes at 6pm. We offer full time care for Spring Break and Summer. We close for the two weeks at Christmas to give the staff a chance to rest and recuperate.

EVERY CLASS THERE IS GROWTH

Kids learn a lot of times quicker than adults. We often have kids teaching their parents the skills they learned in class.

They are growing and learning all the time and it is hard to predict when a lesson will sink in, but there is a much higher chance of the lesson sinking in while they are active. When your child is buzzing around at home, it can be hard to capture their attention. But while they are working hard and burning energy in class, their brain is wide open to hear important lessons like respect and self discipline.

PHYSICAL SKILLS AND CHARACTER TRAITS THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

Our kids are being exposed to so much information through the internet and other media. What we are allowing into their lives is hard to control at times so choosing an activity like martial arts can be crucial for their development.

Martial arts was created for people of all ages to learn self defense. But by doing so, it is shaping our children into successful athletes. Knowing how their body operates will bring success to them in different physical activities. More importantly, character traits developed through training will carry them through any challenge in life.

A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR CHILD

We follow all Licensed Childcare policies and procedures. All staff are criminal record checked and have gone through our rigorous training program. In fact, most of them are black belts.

You can feel good knowing that your child is in a safe place while you are at work.

POSITIVE FRIENDSHIPS TO LAST A LIFETIME

Some kids struggle to make friends. The connections formed through martial arts training builds lifelong bonds. Our program involves kids from multiple schools so everyone is able to find friends and also friends they might not have ever met before since they did not attend the same school together.

FAQS

How is your childcare program different from others?
We are fortunate to have a large floor space for kids to be active in. Parents are busy and when you are done with work, we know you want to go home and rest. Having your child already done their after school sports while at childcare saves you time, energy and money.
My child struggles at school. Will martial arts help?
Yes. A lot of times kids are not burning off enough energy. They need to be active. It is hard to focus when your child is filled with energy and no place to release that. Kids that are in martial arts learn to focus while letting go of that pent up energy.
My child does not like sports. Will they like martial arts?
A lot of kids love martial arts because it is a physical and mental sport. Kids that are more mentally focused and not as physical enjoy the discipline and arts side of our sport. Those kids do not even realize how active they are being. While kids that are more physical do not even realize how much of their mind they are using while being active. It’s a win-win for all kids!

They are great role models - strict, but caring and loving. The training area is massive and allows plenty of space for training. Highly recommend.

  • My husband and I decided we wanted our girls in something that will teach them discipline, strength, and ways to defend themselves. After looking at a few other places we decided on Excel and it was the best choice ever. The teachers and student helpers are simply amazing and truly care about the children and helping them. We have found our forever home with Excel!

  • I would rate higher if i could. Amazing instructors that actually care about the kids achieving goals and succeeding. I have taken my child to other Karate classes before and it was basically let the kids run around for 30 minutes. Excel is totally different and my child loves going. Thank-you to Adam and his amazing team.
