Our Mini Imps™ classes are fun activity session's designed for Pre-School children aged 3 & 4, to help build confidence in a safe environment. This program is especially beneficial to children on the build up to starting school for the first time with learning colours, counting and social skills.

Our motto is “One step at a time” and this reflects our basic step by step approach to teaching younger children. The 6 week rolling program consists of 5 lessons called "Steps" plus a revision session. Each Step starts where the previous one left off.

The Mini Imps™ classes use fun games and role play in a safe environment with absolutely no physical combat being taught. The sessions consist of warm-up games and an adventure story in which the step lesson techniques are used as part of the fun role play. Your child will be given a Mini Imps™ training logbook in which to put coloured “Step” stickers and revision stars in the allocated spaces next to the lesson after the class is over. Once your child has collected 10 Mini Imps™ Step stickers and 2 revision stars they graduate and are recognized with a new belt colour on their T-Shirt. The program is then repeated and your child will get more confident each time they run through it. More details on Imps Club here.
