FAQs | Kids Life Skills

We don't have a laptop or a tablet. What can we do?

It is practical if the kids bring their own devices and be able to practice at home in between the sessions but if you need assistance in this regard please contact us and we will arrange a laptop or a tablet for your child for the coding workshop.

Coding is being implemented in my child's school curriculum this year / my child already participated in another coding lesson in the past. Should my child still join to your Introduction course (Discovery)?

Kids Life Skills' activities are an introduction and the basis for the topic, if the kids already have some prior knowledge that is great and would allow our instructor to expose them to more advanced content. Please register your child to our Introduction course (Discovery) to have the best basic knowledge. Simply keep us informed so our instructor will have the full scope and will progress with the kids accordingly.

Should the parents stay with the kids in class?

My child is at the age group of 4-6 at the moment, when can my child move to the older group?

Once your child turns 7 years old and can read & write (even basically) s/he can join the older group and participate in the courses for ages 7 years old and up. Even if your child already participated in the Introduction course (Discovery) for ages 4-6, once she/he can start the older group age - they should register to the Introduction course (Discovery) for ages 7-10 years old. The Introduction course (Discovery) for ages 7+ is different from the Introduction course (Discovery) for ages 4-6: The kids will start to use laptops (not tablets) The kids will be introduced to Scratch (is different from Scratch Jr in the younger group) The sessions are 3 hours (not 2 hours like in the younger group)
I have older kids and they would love to participate in coding courses! Do you have a program for kids 13 years old and up?

My child is 10.5 years old. To which age group should I register him?

The main difference between the groups age 7-10 & 11-13 is the rhythm and speed of the teaching. If you feel that your child is matured to her/his age - register to the older group age. In any case, the instructor will progress with the kids and expose them to more advanced content according to their knowledge and their progress.
My child is younger than 4 years old but I think that s/he is mature enough to participate in Kids Life Skills activities. Can I register my child?

In case that your child is younger than 4 years old and you believe that she/he can participate in a 2 hours activity - please contact us for a 10 minutes meeting so one of our instructors can meet with your child and see if she/he can join us.
