Delfs' After School Program

Our After school Program is the only program of its’ kind in the Bradford and Holland Landing area. The program has been designed to assist parents with the tough job of giving your child the tools and skills needed to overcome their daily obstacles.

We currently pick up students from 8 elementary schools in both Bradford and Holland Landing. Children are picked up daily upon conclusion of their school day and brought to our facility. The children take part in confidence building martial arts classes with emphasis on Respect, Focus and Discipline. Snack time is given along with time for completion of their homework. Parents pick up their children as late as 6:30pm.

How It works

Our after school bus will pick up your child after school and bring them to our facility up to five days per week. Children are greeted by our staff and leave their belongings in our after school centre and then prepare for either a confidence building martial arts lesson or fitness exercise games and activities. Students achieve TaeKwon-Do rank belts as they develop valuable skills.

After their class they change again and return to the after school centre where they break for snack time. Kids then have a supervised homework and study session. Delfs' staff assists students as needed with homework, keeping them on track. Home work is done until completion. Students who do not have home work are assigned appropriate exercise to help maintain a successful routine.

Children are available for pickup anytime from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.

P.A. Days

During P.A. days Delfs' runs fun full day programs.  P.A. days sometimes incur a small additional fee. This is also available for kids who are not part of the regular after school program.

Benefits

Our main concern is to see that your child grows physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally to the best of his/her ability. Personal relations are very important to us, therefore feel free to visit and bring your child. After School Karate Program

Dad says "It's about 'protection'
Mom says "It's about 'focus'
Kids say "It's about 'fun'

The self image, confidence, discipline and control your child develops today will determine the level of happiness and success he or she will experience as an adult. It has been proven that traditional TaeKwon-Do develops in children the above qualities and much, much more leading to a healthier, happier, and more successful life.
