"They are so cool! The dojo is a wide open layout of multi-monitor workstations where the kiddos learn about coding. The staff are super friendly and flexible with our unusual attendance schedule. It's always been a open and friendly environment, and I can tell my son has learned tons over the last couple years. Can't thank them enough!"
