Young children learn sequencing, patterns and logic through games and block-based coding, with a background-checked tutor in the US or Canada. Plans start at $399 a month, and the first class is free.

What your child learns in grades K–2 coding
The main topics we teach in this band. Each group works at its own level, so the exact order depends on where the children are.
Patterns and loops
Spotting repeats and using a loop instead of writing the same step again and again.
Logic games
If-this-then-that puzzles that build the thinking behind conditionals.
Block coding
Dragging and snapping blocks to make characters move, talk and react.
First debugging
Finding the step that went wrong and fixing it, without getting upset.
What a typical week looks like
Your child has two live 50-minute classes a week with the same small group. Classes mix unplugged activities (moving around the room, ordering picture cards) with short bursts of block coding on screen. Each child shares what they made, and the group helps find bugs together.
Is this the right class for your child?
A good fit for
- Children who love puzzles, building and figuring out how things work
- Children who are ready to use a mouse or touchscreen with some help
- Families who want screen time that teaches thinking
Probably not the right fit
- Children who can’t yet use a mouse or tablet with a parent’s help nearby.
- Families looking for a self-paced app. Our classes are live.
How we place your child
Children are grouped by grade and current level, not just age. The free trial class shows us where your child is, and if a group turns out to be too easy or too hard, we move them.
Choose a group size
Same tutor quality and the same topics in every size. Smaller groups give each child more individual time.
Group of 2
Near one-on-one attention with a study partner. Best for closing gaps or moving fast.
From $949 / month · about $119 a class
CAD $1,299 / month
Group of 4
Plenty of individual time plus real discussion. Our most balanced option.
From $649 / month · about $81 a class
CAD $899 / month
Group of 8
Small, never crowded. Every child still speaks up, with more ideas in the room.
From $399 / month · about $50 a class
CAD $549 / month
Prices are per child per month for 8 live 50-minute classes (two a week). See full pricing.
Questions about grades K–2 coding classes
Can a 5 or 6 year old really learn coding?
Yes, in the sense that matters at this age: giving precise step-by-step instructions, spotting patterns and fixing mistakes. They do it through games and block coding, not typed code.
Does my child need to read?
No. Block coding for young children is mostly icons and pictures, and tutors read anything aloud.
What device works best?
A laptop or desktop with a mouse is easiest. A tablet works for younger children. Both need a camera and microphone.
How much do online coding classes for grades K–2 cost?
Plans are per child per month for 8 live 50-minute classes: from $399 for a group of 8, $649 for a group of 4 and $949 for a group of 2 (CAD $549, $899 and $1,299). The first trial class is free, with no payment details needed.
How often do classes meet?
Groups meet twice a week for 50 minutes, which makes 8 live classes a month. Your child stays in the same small group, so the tutor gets to know how each student thinks.
