The Little Dragons
Program guide compliments the 8 fundamental skills of the Future Kidz 5 & 6-year old program. This pre-school program is intended to act as a “qualifier” program for your in-school Little Dragons programs. The goal is to streamline all of the graduated students into your school.

The Little Dragons program, if done properly, can be a powerful marketing tool. To maximize the benefits of the program we suggest you use the Little Dragons Guide as close to its entirety as you possibly can. By doing so, you will operate a quality preliminary martial arts program that generates measurable results.

It’s a win-win program for everyone
The Little Dragons program benefits the students who participate, the parent, the pre-school, and your school. The students benefit because the program is high-quality. The parents benefit because the program reinforces home values. The exposure to structure and discipline helps make each child a better, more attentive student, which is beneficial for the pre-school. Your school gains a large percentage of the graduates and the graduates enter the Little Dragons program with sufficient introductory skills.

The most important focus of the Little Dragons program should be to make the program as high-quality as you possibly can. This is often overlooked in most off-site martial arts programs. This is a great opportunity for you to build a strong market through results, reputation, and referrals. In the ideal social circle of our community, being the best does have its advantages. Unlike the average circle of communication, parents of children who participate in off-site martial arts program aren’t expecting a quality program with measurable results. When they discover that your program has made a difference in their child through physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development, the parents enjoy telling their friends and families.
Step-by-step on how to organize your pre-school program

Contacting the pre-school
To get your Little Dragons program in an off-site location, you must find a way to get in contact in with the right person. Start by asking the parents of your current students for referrals. Many times, the parent can set up an appointment for you with the right person at their child’s pre-school. The next best way to get in contact with the right person is to send each pre-school a letter explaining what your program is about and what it can do for their students. Then, follow-up with a phone call 3 days after you mail the letter to see if they read it and would like to set up a meeting.

The meeting should be brief and to the point: You have a comprehensive pre-school program that builds skill through quality martial arts training; you will come to the school to teach the program once per week; the parents pay you a small tuition for their child to participate in the program; the program lasts 8 weeks; everyone benefits from the program. The most important thing to remember when you have the meeting is to leave a good impression. This will be the key to getting a lot of support from the pre-school. If the pre-school director likes you, then she will go out of her way to promote you.

After the meeting, set up a start date for the program. Give the pre-school handouts for the parents. Start the program in 2 to 4 weeks from the meeting. This will give you enough time to prepare and build up a decent size class.

Send this letter to a preschool.

Your Info here
Dear Pre-school Director,

I would like to offer your school an exclusive opportunity. Our organization is on a mission to reach out to as many pre-schoolers in our community as possible. Each year we will select a preschool to host our World renowned pre-school martial arts program know as the Future Kidz. This program contains a detailed curriculum focused to improve pre-school aged children’s basic listening and motor skills, and brighten their future. These skills will help them enter society with a more confident and enthusiastic approach. We believe between the age of 3 to 6 are the most important years of a child’s development. Our program can enhance positive development in a fun and motivating way.

There are 8 major skills that our instructors focus on when training children 3 to 6 years of age. Those “skills” are:

1. Focus 5. Memory
2. Teamwork 6. Discipline
3. Control 7. Fitness
4. Balance 8. Coordination

Each class, we will cover one of these skills with a wide variety of activities that are fun and at the same time educational. The following are some activities that we cover in our classes:

• The Discipline Test – all the students move about the class doing various commands, such as jump, jog in place, etc. until we give the command “attention.” They all must move to attention as fast as they can. This drill teaches them discipline to stand still when told.

• Clean-up test– we take all of our targets and kicking pads and place them all over the floor. We split the class into teams and have a contest to see which team can pick them up the fastest. This teaches them teamwork, and also makes cleaning their own room fun.

• Character Development – each day we discuss a special lesson that will help them improve their character and attitude.

As you can see, we make learning fun and educational. Martial Arts is much more than kicking and punching, it’s being the best that you can be in everything you do, just like a Black Belt.

If you are interested in having one of our professional instructors teach half-hour classes once per week at your pre-school, please contact me at 222-1234. If your school is selected, we will run the program at a discounted price offered exclusively to your students.

Best Regards,

I'll be adding the next 3 steps this week.

Has anyone done this?

Re: The 4 easy steps to,How to generate funds to start a school

One of the reasons that we lose Sport Karate Players is the lack of finances,guys in there tweens are going through changes in life that really distracts them from achieving the highest level of performance.

If the $ issue is properly handled than we will have better trained Players and a higher quality Sport.

The truth is that schools worldwide are making a tons of money and most of the Sport Karate schools don't.

The hours of 9:00 am to 3:00 pm are ideal to work with a group that need us.However you must know how to approach the businesses.

This week I'll continue to put this proven program steps of success!

Basic questions and answers:

1. When is the best time to schedule the class?
Most pre-schools have a lighter load mid-week and at the end of the week. If you have the opportunity to schedule the class, then Wednesday in the morning (10 am) or Friday after lunch (1pm to 3pm) work best. Remember, if you have more than 10 students, you may want to split them up into two separate classes.
2. What should I charge for the program?
Depending on your market you can charge anywhere from $50 to $100 for the entire course. To set your price, compare the pre-school tuition rate with other pre-schools in the area. If this pre-school is more expensive than others, then your market may be able to swing as much as $100 for the course. (That’s $2,000 if you get 20 students!)
3. How do I collect the fees?
The parents should each make the check out to your school. You can have them pay in full up front, or make two payments. It is much easier to collect all of the money up front.
4. What should I pay my staff if they run the program?
If you are using a regular staff member to run this program, you can pay them by the hourly of a rate between $15 & $20 per hour. If your senior staff member actually sets up the program and runs the program, along with the graduation and follow-up work, then you can give them as much as 60% of the tuition plus bonuses for each student that enrolls into one of your on-site programs.
5. Should I make the students wear uniforms?
Uniforms are not necessary for the students. It takes time for them to get ready, which can become a nuisance for the pre-school. Also, by telling them that they get a uniform when they graduate, they have a lot to look forward to.

Re: How to make a living teaching Martial Arts
