ABOUT US
We grow kids, not just coders.
We’re a youth character development academy in the Kansas City area — using coding, robotics, and technology as environments where K–8 students build confidence, teamwork, and character.
Love to Code Academy was built on a simple belief: that the best thing technology can do for a young person is help them discover who they are and what they’re capable of creating. Founded in the Kansas City area, we serve students in kindergarten through 8th grade through after-school programs, camps, workshops, and more. From the beginning, our focus has never been the code — it’s always been the kid.
Love to Code Academy helps students develop stronger relationships, responsibility, and purpose by using coding, robotics, and technology as environments where they practice teamwork, persistence, integrity, and leadership. Technology is the environment — character development is the outcome. That’s the idea behind everything we do: we grow kids, not just coders.
Every program at Love to Code Academy is built around four pillars of character development. Students don’t just practice coding — they practice being good teammates, staying persistent when things get hard, taking ownership of their work, and discovering what drives them. These aren’t soft add-ons to our curriculum. They’re the curriculum.
Building trust and teamwork in every session
Taking ownership of work, behavior, and growth
Discovering what drives you and why it matters
Developing the courage to lead and serve others
Our instructors are trained coaches of character — not just technology teachers. They’re selected for their ability to create structured, encouraging environments where students are challenged, supported, and genuinely known. Every instructor follows the Love to Code coaching model, naming the traits students demonstrate in real time and holding consistent, high standards for both behavior and work. We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming environment for every student. Families can expect a structured, respectful space where kids feel they belong from the very first session. Love to Code Academy is not a licensed childcare facility. Our programs are structured educational activities — parents should arrange drop-off and pick-up accordingly and reach out with any questions about supervision during class sessions.
Love to Code Academy is located in the Kansas City area, serving families across the region with after-school programs, camps, and workshops. Our facility is equipped with the tools, technology, and space to support hands-on learning at every grade level — and our structured check-in and check-out procedures keep students safe from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.
