The Little Ninjas Program is a detailed curriculum that focuses on improving children’s necessary 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 time between the ages of 3 and 6 are the most critical years of a child’s development.

Our program will enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way. The Little Ninjas program will also prepare your child for our Juniors Program. The skills taught are composed of physical and mental benefits. The following are the skills with the benefits of participating in the Little Ninja class.

  • Skill 1 – Focus
  • Skill 2 – Teamwork
  • Skill 3 – Control
  • Skill 4 – Balance
  • Skill 5 – Memory
  • Skill 6 – Discipline
  • Skill 7 – Fitness
  • Skill 8 – Coordination

In our Little Ninjas classes, we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help your child be the best they can be at everything they put their minds. Our motto is “Little Ninjas today, leaders tomorrow.”

Skills

The eight Little Ninjas skill requirements are composed of physical and mental benefits.

Focus – This skill will help your child’s aim, listening skills, and reaction skills. They will excel faster in any physical activity. Your child will also become a better listener and a more focused student in school.

Teamwork – Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. The more confident your child is willing to work with others, the more he or she will accomplish. Your child will build character, which will help your child make new friends and become a better leader in life.

Control – Having control means making the right 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.

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 great balance and a better posture.

Memory – Developing a good memory is an exercise for your child’s brain. The sooner your child exercises, the smarter he or she will become. Our drills are always helping your child think and make intelligent decisions.

Discipline – Our instructors use the Little Ninja 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.

Fitness – Children need 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 of that energy?

Coordination – Your child will learn left from right. They will become better physical participants in sports and activities. The better coordination your child has, the fewer injuries your child will sustain.

In our Little Ninjas classes, we make learning fun and educational. Our goal is to help your preschooler be the best they can at everything they do.

How Your Child Will Advance Through the Program

After every first skill lesson, the instructor will place a sticker within the Little Ninjas Achievement Record Card. On the completion of the second skill lesson, your child will be awarded a skill stripe for developing that skill. Each skill stripe is a different color. Your child must earn all eight colored skill stripes to qualify to advance to the next level. Each ninja with all eight skills stripes will perform at the Little Ninjas Belt Promotion are every nine weeks.

The Little Ninjas Belt Promotion allows your child to show the instructors and parents how developed each skill has become. A panel of judges will be evaluating each ninja to monitor his or her progress.

After the performance, an awards ceremony rewards the ninjas with their new rank. Their rank advancement gives your child a new challenge for each skill. Your child again begins to collect the colored skills stripes as they set their goal for the next belt performance. This visible progress keeps the program exciting and challenging. Your child will learn how to set goals and achieve them accomplishing their new ranks.

The following is a list of each skill with the color of the skill stripe

  1. Focus = Red
  2. Teamwork = Blue
  3. Control = Green
  4. Balance = Yellow
  5. Memory = Orange
  6. Discipline = White
  7. Fitness = Black
  8. Coordination = Purple

Little Ninjas instructors monitor your child’s progress by his or her skills stripes. Make sure your child is consistent with his or her attendance so that he or she earns each skill stripe before the Little Ninjas Promotion. To avoid excess time at each rank and prevent boredom, follow the curriculum calendar.

If your child has difficulty with a specific skill, the instructor may ask you to work with him or her at home to improve the skills. Homework assignments allow your child to be the best that he or she can be. Our goal is to develop the eight skills in the Little Ninjas Program thoroughly. With your help, your child will learn and grow with commitment and dedication to excellence in everything that he or she does.
