“Learning is a treasure that will follow you everywhere.” – Chinese Proverb
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, coding has become an essential skill for the next generation of innovators. However, it’s not just about learning to code – it’s about developing the skills that will truly set your child up for success. By introducing your child to coding at a young age, they’ll gain a solid foundation in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity – the cornerstones of the skills needed to thrive in today’s world. These skills are highly valued across various industries, making the skills acquired through coding an invaluable asset for their future careers. By giving your child a head start in coding, you’ll be equipping them with the most essential skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the 21st century.
Our Unique Approach
Our approach is built on three pillars:
- Faster Learning Through Fun: We believe that children learn more effectively and achieve greater success when their classes are engaging and enjoyable. Research supports this principle, and we’ve designed our classes to be both fun and educational. You can find more facts about learning through fun here.
- Expert Teachers: Our teachers are highly educated, with multiple master’s degrees and extensive real-world experience in coding, critical thinking and problem solving. They’ve worked on exciting projects, such as coding for Mars rovers and satellite applications, and are passionate about sharing their knowledge with the next generation.
- Holistic Learning: Our approach combines the best of Western and Asian educational principles to create a holistic learning experience that fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking. By blending different perspectives and approaches, we provide a rich and well-rounded education that prepares children for success in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.

With his experience in developing satellites and Mars rovers, Ben aims to ignite curiosity and creativity in the next generation. Learn more about him here.
Our Coding Kids Classes
Our classes are specifically designed for children aged 4-9 years old. We tailored our programs to their unique learning needs and abilities. We use the popular Scratch Junior and Scratch programming languages. They form the solid foundation for learning Python, a widely used and versatile programming language.
What sets us apart?
What sets our classes apart:
- LEGO robotics: We use LEGO robotics to teach coding concepts in a fun and interactive way. By combining coding with hands-on robotics, we create a unique learning experience that fosters creativity, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking.
- Child-centered learning: Our classes are designed to revolve around your child’s interests and needs. We believe that every child is unique, and our classes are structured to adapt to their individual learning style. We don’t ask your child to adjust to our teaching style – instead, we adjust our teaching to meet their needs and interests.
- Flexible and dynamic learning: Our classes are well-planned, but we also leave room for spontaneity and flexibility. If your child is curious and asks questions, we use those questions as a starting point to develop our robotics and coding projects. We believe that this approach helps to keep your child engaged and motivated, and provides them with the best possible learning environment.
