Drop off and Pick up
All of our parents are encouraged to watch their child’s progress on a regular basis. There are many achievements that your child will accomplish daily, and you being there as a parent to witness their immediate growth and development is essential for their self-esteem. However, we also understand that from time to time you may need to drop off your child and run errands. Please make sure that your child is on time for class as tardiness affects the overall structure of the class.
At Home Training
We encourage all students to practice at home under parental supervision. If you have any questions about how to get the most out of at home training please see your Ninja Instructor.
