Kung Fu Peaceful

On Mondays, Dao comes in to teach the children Shaolin Kung Fu. The children have a chance to practice their moves, get a great work out and collect cards that express Shaolin virtues of peacefulness and consideration which are very much in keeping with Montessori’s philosophy. Dao is a fantastic role model for the children who resists popular media viewpoints of martial arts as violent. He helps the children see strength as a quality to develop in yourself not something you use against others. Our after school clubs welcome students from Orchard and other schools and daycares.
