What is Firefly's Daily Class Schedule?

We work with parents' schedule, but in general, our classes run from Monday-Friday, with the schedule below:
4:30-5:20 | Ages 8-10 | Scratch, Robotics, Python
5:30-6:20 | Ages 11-13 | Scratch, Robotics, Python, PyGame
6:30-7:20 | Ages 14+ | Robotics, Python, Roblox, Minecraft

Does my child need to have prior coding knowledge or experience?

Classes require NO prior coding experience to get started!

My child has coded before. How does that work?

If your child has prior coding experience, fantastic! We'll assess and place your child appropriately to maximize engagement and learning!

Pricing - what are your rates?

Our price reflects our mission: to provide high quality, accessible coding education to all children! We charge a flat $139/month, no matter what your child studies - Scratch, Robotics, Python, or even AI.

Why are your rates almost HALF that of your competitors?

There are several reasons for this, but here are the main ones.
 
  1. We are mission driven. We believe that every child deserves to learn how to code, and therefore price accordingly.
     
  2. WE ARE NOT A FRANCHISE! Franchises have extremely high overhead. Here are just a few of their biggest costs, which they pass directly to you:
    1. Monthly franchise fees,
    2. Mandatory, up front center buildout to meet franchise needs,
    3. Franchise mandated proprietary coding application fees, etc.

      We have NONE of these costs, so we can deliver a world-class coding education to your child WITHOUT having you break the bank. 
       
  3. Firefly Coders was founded by a Fortune 500 software engineer. In industry, we learn how to use Open Source (free) code and software to build enterprise-grade applications. Firefly Coders uses the same model to reduce overhead and deliver results relevant and attractive to both academic and career perspectives. Now that's what we call a WIN-WIN!
