First off, if I may say something. Your class is to long. a kids class should be no longer than 45 minutes at the most. I have 3 different programs. Our Basic Program which is 30 minutes long, and our Black Belt Leadership Program which for white belts is an additional 15 minutes. Anyone over white belt is just 45 minutes. Our third program which is our C.I.T. (Certified Instructors Training) Program is just one class per month. And it is 45 minutes long. I think the reason that people make classes an hour and tell people that they can come for unlimited classes per week is that they think it will add value to their program. And it doesn't. In fact, when you do, your attrition rate (how many people drop out) goes up. People burn out much faster that way.
Also, one more thing that may make your classes better is this, "don't talk differently to your kids than your adults". this may not be the case with you but most people will automatically switch to a Mickey Mouse type talk when they are talking to kids. Kids are not stupid. And parents notice this talk. Speak the same way to your kids as you do your adults. I am sure I will have more later, but in the mean time the rest of your outline looks ok.
