Convenient School Pickup & Supervised Care

We make after-school logistics simple. We provide transportation from local schools to our Blaikie Court location, where your child can stay, learn, and play in a fully supervised environment.

• Care available until 6:00 pm
• Extended care until 7:00 pm available for an additional fee
• Safe, reliable, and convenient for working parents

It’s an after-school solution that combines structure, activity, and fun—all in one place.

Daily Martial Arts Training That Builds Life Skills

Every child enrolled in our after-school program participates in daily Karate and Jiu-Jitsu classes designed specifically for kids. Training helps students develop:

• Confidence, discipline, and respect
• Self-control and focus
• Improved coordination and motor skills
• Healthy habits through movement and exercise

Our experienced instructors make martial arts fun, supportive, and rewarding so kids look forward to each afternoon.  Martial arts provide children with tools they can use both in school and in everyday life.

What’s Included in Our After-School Program

Our program offers a balanced mix of learning, activity, and fun, including:

• Daily Karate and Jiu-Jitsu classes
• Bully prevention education
• Character development lessons
• Fitness and structured exercise
• Bounce houses and slides
• Indoor sports and group activities

• Supervised homework time

This makes our program both enriching and socially engaging — helping kids grow holistically while respecting their unique interests.

A Strong Focus on Safety & Individual Attention

Your child’s safety is our top priority. To ensure proper supervision and the attention each child deserves, we limit the number of students we transport and accept into our after-school program.

This allows our instructors and staff to maintain a safe, structured, and positive environment every day.

Availability is limited, and spots fill quickly.
