We LOVE working with kids!

Program Director

Sensei Jim

I'm Sensei Jim, my wife and I started Tumblebears in 1988. In 2001 I created kickaroo karate to give children the opportunity to experience karate in a non traditional fun environment. I love teaching and developing curriculum for early learning, especially enriching young minds through play and mindful experiences. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing children developing confidence as they become their own little person.

Jayme Klisiak

I LOVE children and teaching is my absolute passion. There is nothing better than watching a child accomplish a skill that they have worked endlessly to achieve. I never know who gets more excited… me or my student.

  • Will my child have fun & be engaged in online classes?

    Absolutely! Our primary goal is to make sure that students have fun while they learn and stay engaged during class. We know that teaching preschool aged children needs specialized care and instruction. We combine enthusiasm and fun activities to focus your child's attention and to keep them wanting to do more.

  • What kind of subscription model is this program?

    We have a monthly subscription model where your child is automatically enrolled each month to continue learning and building on their previous skills with new content. Each course contains 30-40 minutes of instruction which is broken down into smaller segments. You can view the different classes as many times as you like during the month.

  • Does my child need special training or previous experience?

    No previous experience is necessary for our classes. Our classes are designed where your child can join in at any time and benefit from the course material.

  • What kind of equipment do I need for home classes for my child?

    We make our classes convenient and easy for children to take at home! All you need is a computer or tablet with access to an internet connection. Some lessons will include items that can be easily found around your house.

  • Do I need to assist my child through these courses?

    Yes & No. Most of our content is self sufficient but some activities will need assistance from an older sibling or adult. Videos that need assistance will be labeled.
