There seems to be an old review on here from previous management. The administration and staff have all been super and have always been transparent with billing and the cancelation policy.
Code ninjas is terrific! We have our three girls there, ages 8, 7, & 4. They're flexible and let my 7 year old go between the junior class (with my 4 y/o) and the main class (with my 8 y/o). We drop them off for 2 hrs and come back to pick them up (giving us 2 hours of kid free time to get stuff done).
They have proprietary software developed with Microsoft to break down the fundamentals of coding for kids to learn in modules for the Main class.
The ninja element ties into their learning system of colored belts. My oldest is on the 4th competency with coding in the white belt level. Each time they finish a session we're given a sheet that shows her current progress.
The goal is to introduce kids the fundamentals and when they get to a black belt level, their graduation project is to develop an App that can be released to the public.
The Sensai's are a mix of adults and teens that all seem passionate about technology and are very patient in assisting our kids to learn the fundamentals.
They let you do a trial session to see if you're kids are interested before you commit to paying or signing up.
Other activities separate from the coding include access to drones, a 3D printer, and they have a podcast studio for kids to learn all the different competencies (a/v, editing software, etc) involved with creating a podcast.
They also have "Parents Night Out" once a month on a Friday night from 6p - 10p, which we take advantage of.
If you're curious whether your kid (s) might be interested, I highly recommend bringing them for a trial session. James and Christopher are typically at the front desk and are super helpful! read more
