One class, no term commitment · Max 4 littles per class

Start with a single class

Coding Lab is a hands-on intro to coding for littles — programming little robots, learning to put steps in order, and building their own games. It’s closer to a puzzle than a lesson: they’re solving and creating, not sitting and listening.

You don’t have to sign up for a whole term to begin. Come for one class — a low-pressure way to see if it’s the right fit for your little first.

Kids coding at Boogles — your questions answered

How much does a kids coding class at Boogles cost?

A single class is $25 for Junior (ages 5–7) and $35 for Academy (ages 7–9). Academy includes a same-day 1:1 Level Assessment.

What age can kids start coding?

Junior is for ages 5–7 and Academy is for ages 7–9.

How long is a class?

Each session runs 30 minutes — focused, hands-on, and just the right length for little attention spans.

How big are the classes?

Small — a maximum of 4 littles per class, so every one gets real time with Negar.

Is this a drop-off?

Junior (ages 5–7) is a drop-off session — settle your little in and the rest is on us, though you’re welcome to stay. For Academy (ages 7–9), plan to stay onsite or return within your window for the 1:1 Level Assessment.

What is the 1:1 Level Assessment?

It’s a same-day one-on-one between Negar and your little, included with every Academy class. Afterward, Negar shares a personalized recommendation and the right summer pathway for where your little is now — so you leave with a clear next step, not a guess.

Do I need to register ahead?

Yes — please pre-register so we can save your little’s spot. Spaces are limited to 4 per class, so booking ahead is the only way in.

Do we have to commit to a full term?

No — this is a single class. If it’s a fit, full terms are available, and Academy’s 1:1 Level Assessment helps place your little in the right one.

Where can my kid take a coding class in the GTA?

At Boogles Playhouse, inside Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill, Ontario — in York Region, in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

What should we bring?

Just your little — everything they need is provided.
