HappyFeet KC welcomes children starting at 2 years old and up. Our programs are specifically designed for toddlers and preschoolers, with age-appropriate curriculum that matches your child's developmental stage. We focus primarily on ages 2-6, making soccer fun and engaging for the youngest players.
Pricing varies depending on the program type, session length, and location. Most programs offer multi-week sessions ranging from $75-$220. We recommend contacting HappyFeet KC directly for current pricing and any special promotions or sibling discounts that may be available.
HappyFeet KC operates as a mobile soccer program throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area, including Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Olathe, and Shawnee. Classes come directly to local preschools, daycare centers, and community locations, making it incredibly convenient for busy families.
For most programs at preschools and daycare centers, parent participation is not required. However, our Parent & Me classes (for younger toddlers around 18-24 months) do require caregiver participation. This allows parents to focus on work or errands while their child enjoys quality soccer instruction.
Children should wear comfortable athletic clothing and closed-toe athletic shoes (sneakers). Soccer cleats are NOT necessary for our preschool programs. We provide all soccer balls and equipment. Please bring a water bottle, and dress your child in layers as classes may be indoors or outdoors depending on the location and season.
We maintain small class sizes to ensure each child receives personalized attention. Typical class sizes range from 6-12 children per instructor, allowing for individualized coaching while still providing the social benefits of group learning and play.
Most HappyFeet KC classes run for 30-45 minutes, which is the perfect duration for maintaining toddler and preschooler attention and engagement. This timeframe allows for warm-up activities, skill development, creative play, and fun games without overwhelming young children.
HappyFeet KC uses a unique approach combining soccer skills with songs, stories, nursery rhymes, and imaginative adventures. Instead of rigid drills, children become pirates searching for treasure or astronauts exploring space - all while learning dribbling, passing, and shooting skills. Our mascot Bob the Bobcat makes learning fun and engaging!
