How Our After School Program Stands Apart
Not every after-school option offers the same balance of structure, learning, and care. See how the Excel Martial Arts Childcare Program provides a complete experience that supports children’s physical, mental, and social growth compared to traditional activities or sports programs.
Many programs allow free time that often leads to too much screen use.
Activities may focus only on athletic performance without teaching personal values or self-discipline.
Unstructured social settings can create cliques or leave some children feeling left out.
Often limited to a single sport or casual play, leading to long periods of sitting and less consistent physical activity.
Parents may need to coordinate additional care, transportation, or structured supervision after practice or school hours.
Daily routines are filled with engaging activities that keep kids active, learning, and interacting with others rather than using devices.
Every lesson reinforces respect, confidence, teamwork, and discipline in a fun and supportive way.
Students connect through shared goals, teamwork, and encouragement, forming friendships that last.
Daily martial arts training, games, and skill-based challenges strengthen coordination, balance, and fitness.
We provide childcare, after school pickup, and a full program that supports working families while giving children a safe and inspiring place to grow.

Read what families are saying and see why so many choose Excel Martial Arts Port Coquitlam for dependable, enriching after school care that helps children grow with confidence and respect.
BEST discipline of Martial Arts EVER!
EMA offers excellent service and has proven to be extremely efficient adapting to the changing environment. During the hardest months of COVID, they kept my kids active, engaged and looking forward to class all done remotely. The after school program gives parents the ability to have childcare while the kids not only learn physical skills, but many other aspects of discipline, respect, leadership, kindness, etc. I absolutely recommend Excel to anyone looking for a family oriented place. Thank you Excel for all your support in our kids development!
This is our first year sign up with Excel for Summer camp for my son. I like that they have different activities weekly that keep things interested for my 9 yo. One week they have Lego theme nd they even give out a Lego set for my son which made him very happy. This week they have Water Splash theme that they took kids out to different pools, park and even at the Co-op Otter water park at Langley.
The owners also very nice and easy talk to. Highly recommended.
They have an incredible instruction staff and are constantly contributing to their local community. A great place to send your kids for martial arts and after school care!

Very impressed by their friendly staff! They were organized, welcoming, created such an encouraging vibe throughout the party! Other than cake and a couple of snack (which turned out to be unnecessary), I didn't really have to bring anything else. Exactly how I wanted the party to be-- nicely decorated，well- organized and hassle-free. 👍👍👍
