JELLYBEAN SPORTS

We teach early learners playground survival skills. Jelly Bean Sports' after-school programs will keep your early learner active. We work hard to make kids coachable, teaching them how to be better listeners, and better communicators, and challenging their critical thinking. Starting at age 2, ours is a non-competitive sports environment. Great for both young boys and young girls. If your child is shy, no problem. Ours is great fun that offers cool training aids that will have them participating in no time. Learning is kept novel. By this we mean a different sport is introduced each week. Sports are kept simple and learning is made fun. Finally, we believe the sports classroom is ideal for the integration of the preschool curriculum. Our active learning offers space for teaching numbers, letters, colors, and more in real-world scenarios. Our use of cool characters, animation, parachutes, bubbles, rings, cones, and dots is what keeps early learners begging for more. (No Class 4/2)
