The reasons why Tigerden started before and after school program. 1. Over 28 million school-age children have both parents or their only parent in the workforce. 2. At least 10 million children and possibly as many as 15 million , are left at home after school each week. 3. Experts agree that school-age children who are unsupervised during the hours after school are more likely to receive poor grades and drop out of school than those who are involved in supervise, constructive activities. 4. Statistics show that most juvenile crime takes place between the hours of 2 :00 and 8 :00 P.M. and that children are also at much grater risk of being the victims of crime during the hours after school Tigerden started this unique program in the fall of 1997, At that time we were the only martial arts studio that ran such a program. Now, 7 years after we pioneered this program, every martial arts school run some form of after school program. Tigerden is and will continue to be the trailblazers in this field, because the staff at TigerDen understands that after school program operated efficiently with right supervision and activities is the key to kids' success in life. We strive to provide 3 main things in our after school program: keeping the kids safe during after school hours, helping to improve kids academic achievements at school, and involving the kids in supervised constructive activities such as Tae Kwon Do training. During a typical day of before school care, TigerDen staff provides a transportation to school, helps with homework, and most importantly guides the child from a stress-filled situation of waking dressing, eating and traveling to the structured, thinking environment of the school. If much of the time in before school care is spent on mentally preparing the child for school, after school program is exactly opposite. Our after school program provides a wide variety of activities designed to meet the needs of children, enrich their experiences and assist them in achieving academic success. We put heavy emphasis on physical activities during after school care. TigerDen Tae Kwon Do training will provide just above everything that the body requires After a physically and mentally challenging workout led by our instructors, children will be prepared to go back home and enjoy quality family time. The before and after school program that TigerDen provides has been a huge success over the years as our growing student body indicates. A satisfied parent said, "TigerDen's before and after school program fills a huge need in this area." Here at TigerDen, through the learning of Tae Kwon Do children will learn about self-discipline, respect, and loyalty. Staff members at TigerDen will teach students to manage their behavior and handle stressful situations. TigerDen's before and after school program is constantly evolving as we zero in on what works. It may take a few more years to perfect our program. But for now, our program continues to help children achieve positive results with comprehensive team effort from our staff led by Grand Master Kim and parents. time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week time : 1 week, 1month, 3months, 1year Blue belt program class : 2Classes, 3Classes per week
