Another fun opportunity for children at PCDS, is the ability to attend tae kwon do classes on our campus.  Classes begin right after the regular school day ends.  The Kick martial arts studio, of Greatwood, visits our school weekly and offers their Tiny Kicks program to PCDS students.  The one hour class includes their specially designed tae kwon do program geared toward pre schoolers.  

The goal of the class would allow for a musical warm-up, gross motor skills and basic tumbling. The equipment would consist of a small bar, a low beam, an enclosed vaulting station, cartwheel mats, an incline, a preschool bar, floor beam and an octagon.

Classes would be:

Tuesdays 2-3pm – for 2 and 3 years olds - Cost of $45 per month

Thursdays 2-3pm - for 4 and 5 year olds - Cost of $45 per month

Class sizes: No more than 12 children to a class

Location: Parkway UMC Worship Center (the gym next door to the School building)

Our Instructor:

Martha Mazeika Hubbard served as the General Manager and coach of the Houston Gymnastics Academy for over 20 years.

Houston Gymnastics has a combined 50 years of successful gymnastics education and high-quality training. HGA is a distinguished club that has been in business since 1984 and is a proud member of USAG, the governing body of gymnastics. Martha is thrilled to be teaching in her home community at Parkway and is excited to offer a quality, safe and fun pre-school gymnastics program.
