Turtles Program (Children ages 4-7)


Respectful – Athletic – Confident – Focused

"A Little Leader"

A Fast-Paced and Fun-Filled Class That Holds Their Attention and Gets 'Em Sweatin', Smilin' and Learnin'

You'll be proud, amazed and blown away by what your little one can accomplish with our “Turtles Program.”

Parents of kids ages 4-7, please pay attention!

  • Are you looking for a fun activity that your child will love but will also gain some valuable benefits from?
  • Do you know in your heart that really positive development will not happen for your child by chance?
  • Do you want your little one to acquire mental and physical skills that some kids twice their age still haven't mastered yet?

Most importantly, do you want them to have FUN?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you've made it to the right web site.

At DCSDKA here in Mt. Pleasant, we've got a “little” secret that gives a select few kids an early edge in life: We call it our Turtles Program.

In the DCSDKA Turtles Program, your child will be exposed to positive social interaction. She will learn how to work with others and follow directions.

He will learn from awesome role models who are specifically trained to work with preschool-aged children.

The DCSDKA Turtle curriculum consists of developing eight major skills that are necessary for excellence in any sport or activity. The curriculum also contains Turtle Tot Personal Development Skills, which are used to reinforce the values you teach at home.

Each student progresses through the three levels of the Turtle Program (Turtles I, II and III) at his or her own individual rate. Typically children who are older will progress to the advanced levels more quickly.

 

My son was four when he first started at DCSDKA. I heard from other neighborhood mothers "how great the teachers are, how wonderful it is that their kids actually listen to them now and have discipline, etc." So, we went to check a class out. I fell in love immediately. The teachers really were amazing, I am not kidding--they are really great with children. The children were very respectful and focused, all while having a total blast in class. I could not be happier with DCDKSA. It has become a huge part our family.  Melinda



There's More!

The best way to understand all this is to experience it in-person. Come to a class - you can meet us and ask us all your questions.

  • The Four Laws of Focus
  • How to be A “Confident Turtle”

Your child will be having so much fun, he won't even realize he's also learning crucial life and success skills.
