More than an after-school activity.

Gladstone families are minutes from something genuinely different. Love to Code Academy is about 10 minutes from Gladstone at 248 NE Barry Road in Kansas City. The commute is short. The impact is not.

Students from North Kansas City Schools in grades K-8 come to LTCA for coding, robotics, and esports. They come for the technology. They stay because of how their kids change. Parents notice it first at home. The child who used to give up when things got hard starts working through problems on their own. The one who struggled in groups becomes the teammate everyone wants.

Every program at LTCA is built around the Love to Code Character Framework. Four pillars, ten character traits, practiced through real technology experiences every session. Coaches do not lecture about character. They coach it through real expectations and real feedback. There are no school partnerships yet. Gladstone families drive to our Kansas City location and find that ten minutes is one of the best short drives they make all week.
