Coding in PreKindergarten and Kindergarten is fun and exciting. The earlier that children explore the basics of coding, the more easily they will be able to learn, understand and apply coding later in life. Many preschoolers and kindergarteners are just the right age to begin learning!
Early coding, or precoding, offers children experiences that integrate communication, thinking, and problem-solving.
These are 21st-century skills that are valuable for children's future success in our digital world. There are many learning activities preschool children already engage in that relate to coding. That is why we are asking for the Botley Bundle and Let's Go Code! activity set.
Children are naturally drawn to adventurous experiences in which they can explore movement, direction, and location. Many of the same concepts supported in these activities, such as spatial reasoning and number sense, are a foundational part of coding that children can practice without a computer.
