I find that this organization encourage children to play. When I was reading about other organization many of them did not mention too much about how the children will be learning.  But this organization include play for the children.

 

We have developed a unique curriculum that incorporates tumbling, music,

dance, creative play, and martial arts as a means of fostering healthy
development, self-awareness, and self-expression. We begin with an intake and assessment of each child, and then schedule him or her in weekly private or small group lessons as determined by the child’s needs and individual stage of development. Parents receive regular progress reports and communication from the instructors, and are encouraged to attend our adult education workshops in order to enhance their ability to respond to the unique strengths and needs of their child.(ICRI)
