Finding an after school program in Charlotte that checks all the boxes—safe, structured, fun, and actually helps your child grow—can feel like a full-time job.
That’s where we come in.
At Charlotte’s Best After-School Program, part of Charlotte Martial Arts Academy, we’re more than just childcare. We’re the program your kid asks to stay late for.
“Don’t pick me up too early!”
Yes. That’s a real quote from many of our participants. We hear it almost every day!
Not Just Supervision. Real Growth.
“She feels safe, engaged, respected, and is thoroughly enjoying herself.”
We design our after-school experience to fuel confidence, friendships, focus, and joy. Every child gets time to move, time to create, and time to connect—with coaches who truly care.
📚 Homework time is built in, so evenings at home are smoother.
📖 Younger students who don’t have homework enjoy quiet reading, group read-alouds, or story-based activities
Safety That Speaks for Itself
Peace of mind is part of the package. We provide safe transportation from select Charlotte schools and text updates when your child is picked up.
“Receiving a text when my daughter is picked up gives me peace of mind knowing she’s accounted for.”
Staff undergo Level 2 background checks and drug screenings, and our nut-free facility is structured, clean, and kid-approved.
More Value, Less Hassle — All-Inclusive Awesomeness
We don’t believe in surprise fees or “that’s extra” conversations.
Your child’s enrollment in our after-school program includes:
- ✅ Weekly martial arts classes
- ✅ Tumbling and parkour instruction
- ✅ All teacher workdays
- ✅ Early release days
And here’s the bonus most families love:
🎉 Half-off all holiday camps for our regular after-school members!
“It can’t be beat!”
“We love all the activities—and the value!”
We’re here to make your life easier, not more expensive.
Coaches That Kids Love and Parents Trust
“Every single admin/coach/leader in training brings their best each day.”
We don’t just train kids—we train leaders. Our high-energy team shows up every day ready to make a difference. And because martial arts is built into our program, your child learns focus, discipline, and respect (without you having to shuttle to another activity).
“The martial arts coaches are so personable.”
“Great staff, great activities—we love it!”
After-School That Transforms Into So Much More
Many families join us after trying other options—and quickly realize this isn’t just another program.
“We tried various different summer camps… our son loved this one so much that he kept asking to come back… so we enrolled him for the rest of the summer—and then added after school.”
Whether your child is shy or bursting with energy, our environment helps them thrive.
“My son does both programs and it can’t be beat!”
“The positive and encouraging environment made all the difference.”
So… Did We Just Win Parenting?
We might be biased, but we think so. 😎
