The extras . . .

JMAC Kids believes in offering a wide variety of extra-curricular activities to our students.  Many families spend a lot of time transporting their children to activities in the evenings & on the weekends.  We give your child the opportunity to participate in these activities during their time spent with us.  The extras offered:

· Mixed Martial Arts—once a week, 30 minutes (older group), 30 minutes (younger group), presented by Clearwater Martial Arts Academy.  Kempo Karate, grappling, and sparring specially designed for elementary students.  Our younger class focuses on balance, techniques, and martial art style games..  Included in our weekly program at no extra fee.

· Gymnastics—once a week, 30 minutes (older group), 20 minutes (younger group).  Students enjoy learning balance beam and floor routines.  Included in our weekly program at no extra fee.

· Chess Club—once a week, 90 minutes, presented by the Clearwater Chess Club.  Studies have shown that chess can increase a student’s concentration, memory, and analytical skills.  Students learn new strategies and skills and then are given the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned.  The club is also involved in local and state competitions.  $5 per class

· Arts & Crafts—taught every other week, 30 minutes to one hour.  Students work with several different mediums and bring home their projects.  Learning how to craft has never been so much fun!  $5 per class

· Cooking—taught every other week, 30 minutes to one hour.  Students learn to read simple no bake recipes, measure ingredients, proper food prep, and eat what they cook (that’s the best part)!  $5 per class

· Cheerleading Club—once a week for one hour.  This non-competitive cheerleading program is where children learn the basics of cheers, chants, dances, jumps, stunts, and tumbling.  Previous cheerleading experience is not necessary, but a good attitude and high energy is a must!  $5 per class

· Baton – once a week for forty-five minutes.  For students going into 2nd grade and up.  Students will learn not only how to twirl a baton, but learn about co-ordination, teamwork, leadership and have fun while twirling.  We will march in the Dunedin Christmas parade, and perform a few times a year at different locations showing off our skills.  (not offered in during summer camp)

· Hip Hop Jazz—taught once a week for one hour, presented by Webby Dance Company.  All ages welcome.  Dance class begins with warm-ups and stretching exercise, followed by creative movement and introduction of age-appropriate dance technique. Children dance to their favorite music while using fun props (i.e. maracas, tambourines, pom pons, leis and much more).

· Piano—once a week, 30 minutes.  From beginner to expert, there is always something new to learn.  Fees apply

· Homework Room— Monday through Thursday.  Students have the opportunity to work on &/or complete their homework assignments.  Our room is equipment with the necessary items to complete tasks.  The homework room monitor is available to explain directions, motivate, and answer questions.  Included in our weekly program at no extra fee.

· Homework Helper—half hour sessions as many times a week that you choose.  This one-on-one time will help strengthen lessons taught at school, improve homework skills, and increase your child’s self-confidence in the classroom.

· Private Tutoring—is available for the student that needs extra individual help.  We have tutors ready to help your student in any academic subject.  Tutoring times & fees vary.
