Tiny Lions Program
Welcome ! 4-6 years old the best age to start!
Chang's Tae Kwon do America's Tiny Lions Program is one of a kind and has been serving Haverhill and Methuen MA for over a decade. Reaching children before they enter the primary grades is crucial to their growth and development. Our program breaks down our regular curriculum into smaller age appropriate segments giving them "authentic" Taekwondo training to prepare them socially and behaviorally for school. This age group is amazing to teach and absorb the mental and physical information like little sponges! Shy beginners end up Shy-Ning! Over confident, itchy kids who can't stay still transform naturally over time.
We want to develop leaders and strong minded individuals that can make quality choices on their own. As children progress through our programs, you will see their grace, agility, self confidence, and their abilities increase.
It begins by building a strong foundation of character development skills such as the 5 tenets of Taekwondo which are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control and indomitable spirit. Just learning those words alone gives them a huge advantage! This program should not be looked upon as an extracurricular activity but rather as a "pre school" life training program which will help shape your child into the leaders of tomorrow. the kinetic movements of Taekwondo create neurological connections that no other physical activity will make. Left and right brain, left and right hands and feet...consistently creating balance and coordination.
we have a specially developed reward system and always use positive reinforcement to motivate our students.
Etiquette and discipline are important parts of every Tiny Lions class, but we are also here to have FUN! Our instructors love teaching and it is very evident in their individual styles and in how the children respond. We strive to maintain a family atmosphere and Chang's Tae Kwon do America which has become an extended family for many of us.
