I have a 3 year old daughter and a 4 year old son in the Little Dragons program. I am consistently impressed by the instructors and the personal and individualized attention they afford to the kids. Both of my kids are high energy jumping beans with a penchant for jumping, climbing, and getting into things, so I figured that the ninja track was the way to go.
Mr. Garrett is the main instructor and does a great job leading the class and relating to the kids on their level. It's great to see a line up of 18 kids 5 & under all staring in reverence at an authority figure. If this is a cult, sign me up.
The additional black belt instructors all have their own personalities with the kids, some more authoritarian than others, but all clearly genuinely engaged in teaching the kids and seeing them progress. I maintain the 5 stars even though I don't really care for my daughter being addressed as "baby girl" by the only female instructor. I hold out hope it's just because she doesn't recall her name. A ninja called "baby girl" just smacks of that horrible movie Suckerpunch.
It's a spendy activity, but worth it. I'm not sure how it ranks against other schools, but I'm willing to pay extra for the level of engagement and interaction that my kids get, and thrive on.
On a quest.... to be the best! AYAH!
