After-School Program
Perfect for on-the-go families, the after-school program at Empower Martial Arts combines education, physical activity, and childcare services into one program. Enrollment for the after-school program continues throughout the school year and provides a safe environment for school-age children to learn and grow Monday through Friday. Below is the full after-school general schedule.
1. Arrival
We pick up our after-school students directly from their schools, and they arrive at Empower between 2:45 p.m. and 3 p.m. Upon arrival, the students are offered a snack time. They can either bring their own snacks or choose from a healthy selection offered by Empower.
After-school students are taught by an after-school teacher who supervises the students in a separate after-school room behind the Dojang which is equipped with a television, craft supplies, books, puzzles, games, and other equipment to facilitate fun interactions between the kids.
2. Traditional Taekwondo
Shortly after arrival, students are given a 45-minute Taekwondo lesson taught by our certified instructors. Because Empower Martial Arts is Kukkiwon Certified, we provide Olympic-standard Taekwondo instruction - our after-school students receive top-notch Taekwondo lessons five days of the week!
3. Education & Structured Play
Following their Taekwondo lesson, students are encouraged to complete their homework. Students can receive help on their assignments from our trained after-school teachers. Students also participate in a variety of pre-planned structured activities, such as reading or craft time.
Students continue to play and interact as the evening winds down, and are encouraged to make crafts, play board games, read, and do other quiet activities. Parents can pickup their child(ren) between 5-7 p.m. at their leisure.
