Our Method
Did we mention it's award-winning?
He loves food so much that his pockets are weighed down with snacks, so he can only move one slow step at a time.
How we do it:
We teach kids through storytelling!
Our stories bring the chessboard to life, transforming each piece into a unique character that takes kids on exciting adventures.
Instead of just explaining the rules, we use stories to show them how chess works in action—making learning fun, engaging, and memorable.

The reviews are in!
“I’m a two-time US women’s chess champion, but I’m also the mom of a four-year-old boy who loves chess and he likes the [Chess at Three] classes a lot too, which really surprised me.
I highly recommend it...”

“Chess is such an important game for kids to learn. If you are interested in getting your tots involved check out Chess at Three.”

“My daughter had no prior chess experience and immediately fell in love by going through Chess At Three's storytelling style of teaching at the trial class. Now the chess club becomes her favorite class after the school and she can't wait to play with the next character when it is introduced... Definitely highly recommend it.”

“My 5 year old has been hooked since meeting the Chess team during their soft opening... [The Staff] and tutors and all of the Chess at Three team have been incredibly welcoming, kind and patient with our budding chess player. Can't wait to keep up with the classes and see him develop his skills in the months to come. Couldn't recommend Chess at Three more!”

“Thanks for hosting a great week of summer camp. Coco seriously had the best time! She is obsessed with Birchguard Quest and I'd love for her to take one of your classes in the fall. I'd also be interested to send her back in August for another camp!”
