After School

ABBC provides quality after-school care that is a fun yet more structured alternative to other after-school care options: “after-school care with a kick!” Our after-school program was designed not only to meet the child care needs of parents but with a focus on developing students and enriching their learning experience!

After School

We take After-School Education Seriously!

Our after-school program turns the aimless hours after school into productive and exciting learning! Through martial arts, students learn to establish healthy habits early on, improving their focus and setting them up to be self-motivated individuals.

At ABBC, we don’t have many rules but they are firmly upheld in order to create a safe, organized environment so your child can thrive! Our program and rules were formed based on the Five Tenets of Taekwondo: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. These principles and structured routines help students to learn and develop strong, healthy boundaries, both of which play key roles in their future success!

Create a sense of belonging

If the after-school program isn’t run by the school district or a facility nearby, children can get to know different kids than those they see at school. That means they don’t have to deal with the same cliques and social issues. If it is run at your child’s school or nearby, the program can give your child a chance to connect with familiar kids in a different environment.

Provide academic support

Our After-School programs offer structured homework help. Homework can often cause friction between kids and their parents. So getting it done during the program can make everyone’s evening more pleasant and relaxing. Making sure that aides or other children aren’t doing the homework for your child.

Improve social skills

Our program promotes cooperation, support, and respect. This can help kids feel more secure about joining a game or starting a conversation. And if they slip up, a sympathetic staffer should be on hand to remind them to take turns or stop interrupting.

Provide safety and supervision

Research shows that times between 3 – 6 pm are when kids are most likely to drink, use drugs, or become the victims of crime or commit the crime themselves. But keeping kids busy can prevent them from engaging in risky behavior. Studies also show that being in an after school-program can result in better grades and fewer behavioral problems at any age.
