Question 1

What makes Code & Grow different from other coding classes?

Accepted Answer

At Code & Grow, we go beyond just teaching code — we teach kids how to think, focus, and grow.
Our curriculum uniquely blends technical skills with emotional development like focus-building, resilience, and planning — all guided by real-world tech professionals and a clinical psychologist.
We are proudly a STEM-aligned program, focusing on technology, engineering, and applied problem-solving. Kids learn to build with real tools like Scratch, Python, and Micro:bit, while developing the mindset needed to succeed in and beyond the classroom.
What truly sets us apart is our signature 3-step learning approach:

• Explain – We introduce each coding concept through relatable stories and real-life examples kids already understand.
 • Embody – Kids act it out! Through games, movement, and group activities, they physically experience the concept before ever touching a keyboard.
 • Explore – Only then do they dive into coding tools — bringing the concept to life in a project they build themselves.
This hands-on, brains-on method helps kids deeply understand what they’re doing — not just follow steps — and gives them the confidence to apply it again and again.

Question 2

Does my child need any coding experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Code & Grow is designed for beginners and returning coders alike. We meet each child where they are, building confidence and skills step by step.

Question 3

What age groups is Code & Grow designed for?

Accepted Answer

Our programs are built for children aged 5 to 12, with separate class levels tailored to different developmental stages — from visual coding with ScratchJr to real-world coding with Python and robotics.

Question 4

What will my child actually build or learn?

Accepted Answer

Depending on their level, kids will create games, animations, apps, websites, or even real-world tech projects with robotics or Micro:bit. Every term ends with a showcase project they’ll be proud to share.

Question 5

Can we try a class before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer complimentary trial sessions so your child can experience the environment and teaching style before enrolling in a full term.

Question 6

What if my child has trouble focusing or staying engaged?

Accepted Answer

Our program is specifically designed to support attention, self-regulation, and emotional awareness. Each class blends movement, hands-on activities, and reflection — helping kids stay engaged in a way that feels natural and supportive.

Question 7

Are your instructors qualified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our team includes experienced educators, data professionals, and a clinical psychologist. All instructors are trained in both coding and age-appropriate SEL (social-emotional learning) practices.

Question 8

How long is each term and class session?

Accepted Answer

Our term-based programs run for 8 to 10 weeks, with classes lasting 60 minutes for younger children (ages 5–8) and 90 minutes for older learners (ages 9–12).

Question 9

Will my child be on a screen the whole time?

Accepted Answer

No — while coding is screen-based, our classes are intentionally designed to be active, balanced, and engaging.
We use off-screen activities, group problem-solving, movement breaks, and tools like storyboards and flowcharts to help kids plan and express their ideas.
Before diving into code, we guide kids through fun, physical activities that help them feel the concept — like loops, sequences, or conditionals — in a hands-on way. This keeps them engaged and builds real understanding beyond just clicking blocks or typing commands.
It’s coding, but with movement, imagination, and meaning.

Question 10

How do I know if my child is progressing?

Accepted Answer

At the end of each term, you’ll receive a progress snapshot highlighting what your child learned, where they’ve grown, and a showcase of their final project. We focus on both coding skills and personal growth.
