Mini Ninjas (Ages 4 - 5)
Our Mini Ninja Program offers kids ages 4-5 a fun and exploratory environment where they can learn and develop a range of skills, including dancing, singing, parkour, and climbing, among others. The program allows children to discover who they are and what they enjoy, while practicing important physical activities that promote healthy habits and an active lifestyle. With an emphasis on creativity, play, and movement, the Mini Ninja Program is ideal for kids who want to express themselves while having fun and building new skills. Your child must be potty trained to participate.
