Little Dragons

A playful 40-minute introduction built around the way three and four year olds actually learn: short bursts, clear cues, and lots of encouragement. Most students train two classes a week for steady progress.

My 3 year old (almost 4 year old) just started attending the Little Dragons program. He's been to 2 classes and I'm already more impressed with the class and the instructor than I thought I would be this soon.
