LifeSkills Learning Center 152 Log Cabin Road Arundel, ME 04046 (207) 283-1511 www.lifeskillsschool.com info@lifeskillsschool.com Contact: Gary Rittershaus I am using the Defeat the Bully Program, Bully Buster, and Character for Kids in my after-school program and in my evening martial arts programs. Our school's primary business comes via a state licensed after school program that accommodates an enrollment of 55 children. (We are full and have a growing waiting list!!) We feature academic and social skills enhancement along with physical activities such as martial arts, yoga, dance, and sports. We use Dr Webster-Doyle's curricula and books exclusively to impart a code of ethics, manners, and tools to understand and diffuse conflict peacefully. This program is recommended by local school guidance counselors and psychologists as a potential solution for children needing social and academic skills enhancement. 70% our clientele are labeled "at-risk" by current standards. Our staff for this program is comprised of certified elementary school teachers and education technicians. The social skills curricula is taught by me (a trained facilitator) along with martial arts. We also have a traditional martial arts evening program that features a blend of physical and "mental martial arts" (Dr. Webster-Doyle's curricula) for children age 5-15. Enrollment in this program is currently 60 and growing.
