I was sold pn their after-school program. Instead of just sending my child to a day care this was a better option. They would pick my child up from school, make sure she did her homework and teach her taekwondo. The little one loves it. I love that my kid has learned to kick butt. In addition to after-school program options, they hold overnight camps, summer camps, and lock ins. These events allow me to have a little me time. Midtown Taekwondo is great and they treat your child like family.
