Our journey began as Chess at 3, an award-winning program that brought the magic of chess to children through storytelling. Story Time Chess focuses just as much on empathy, self-confidence, and sportsmanship as nuts-and-bolts gameplay.
We believe it's our responsibility to give kids the skills they‘ll need to succeed in every arena and reap the intellectual and developmental benefits that our programs so readily provide.
Curious how we teach 3-year-olds to play chess? This video brings our one-of-a-kind method to life, where every chess rule is wrapped in a whimsical story, and every lesson sparks laughter, learning, and strategy.

Having fun never comes at the expense of excellence.
