See your child light up before you enroll.
We grow kids, not just coders.
One class. No commitment. Watch your kid build, problem solve, and walk out a little taller than they walked in.
Coding and Robotics trials available. Ages 5–14. Kansas City location.
The best way to know if it's right is to let your kid try it.
We could tell you about our coaches, our Belt System, and the way kids grow here. But you do not need a pitch. You need to see your child in the room. That is what a trial class is for.
The activity is coding or robotics. The point is confidence, persistence, and teamwork. The trial is your chance to watch both happen at once.
A real class. A real coach. A real project.
No watered-down demo. Your child joins a working session with a coach and peers, and leaves with something they built.
A Real Session
Your child sits with a coach and peers in a working class. Not a tour, not a sales demo. The same experience an enrolled student gets.
Build Something
Coding trials build a small program. Robotics trials build with motors and sensors. Your child leaves having created something real.
Talk With a Coach
After class, sit down with a coach. Ask anything. Get a clear picture of what enrollment looks like and how your child would fit in.
Coding or robotics. Pick one, then pick a time that fits.
Both tracks grow the same kid. The tools are different. The traits we build are the same. Choose a track below, then the scheduler will show the trial sessions matched to your child's age.
Persistence that ships. Build a working program from scratch.
Students build persistence here. When the program does not run, they learn to debug, try again, and finish what they started. That is the trait under the tools.
Your child sits down at a workstation, meets a coach, and builds something they can show you. Beginners start with block-based projects. Returning coders jump into a working challenge with peers.
Best for: kids curious about games, apps, or "how the screen actually works."

Teamwork that moves. Build a robot, and make it work.
Students build teamwork here. A robot that moves is the result of listening, adjusting, and working toward a shared goal with a peer next to them.
Hands-on from the first minute. Your child works alongside a coach and peers to build with motors, sensors, and structure, then watches their robot do what they told it to do.
Best for: kids who love LEGO, taking things apart, or figuring out how things work.

Choose either one. After the trial, the coach will give you a straight answer on which track your child seems most lit up by. There is no wrong choice on day one.
Three questions every parent asks. The trial answers all three.
We could tell you what makes Love to Code Academy different. We would rather you walk in and see for yourself.
Will my child enjoy it?
You will know in the first fifteen minutes. Engaged kids lean in and ask questions. Bored kids do not. There is no faking either one.
Will this help my child grow?
Watch how the coach speaks to your kid. Watch the questions they ask. The whole program is visible in a single session.
Can I trust this place?
You will meet a coach, see the space, and watch your child work. By the end of the hour, you will have your answer.
Four steps from "maybe" to "let's go."
Pick a time. Choose a trial slot that fits your family. Coding or robotics, your call.
Get a confirmation. You will get an email with directions, what to bring (nothing), and what to expect.
Show up. Watch your kid build. Drop off or stay and observe. Sixty minutes of real class with a real coach.
Talk with a coach. Get a read on your child, ask anything, and decide if enrollment is right. No pressure either way.
Parent questions, answered.
Is the trial really free?
Yes. One free trial class per child. No card on file, no obligation to enroll. You only pay if you decide to continue.
What if my child has never coded before?
That is most of our trial students. The coach starts where your child is. No prep work, no homework, no awkward catch-up. Block-based tools make day one productive even for total beginners.
How old does my child need to be?
Trial classes are open to ages 5–14, and sessions are grouped by age so your child is with peers at a similar level. When you click "schedule," the next screen shows you the age-specific sessions available. If your child is on the edge between groups, contact us and we will help you pick the right one.
Do I stay during the class?
Up to you. Many parents drop off and run an errand. Others stay and watch from the parent area. Either works.
What happens after the trial?
You will sit with a coach for a few minutes to talk about what they noticed and what enrollment options would fit your child. There is no high-pressure pitch. Take a week to decide if you want.
Where is the trial held?
Trials are held at our Kansas City facility. You will get the full address and directions in your confirmation email.
What should my child bring?
Just themselves. We provide every device, every tool, every part. A water bottle is welcome.
Can I book a trial for siblings?
Yes. Book one trial per child. We will line them up in the same time slot when possible so you can do one trip.
Pick a time. Bring your kid. See what happens.
Sixty minutes. No cost. No pressure. The fastest way to know if Love to Code Academy is the right fit for your family.
Your child will leave with a project. They will also leave with a little more confidence, a little more grit, and a little more belief that hard things are worth finishing. That is the point. That is why we are here.
We grow kids, not just coders.
