CHESS KIDDING IN PRE-SCHOOLS

At Chess Kidding, we are dedicated to unlocking every child’s brilliant potential.

Chess presents a wonderful opportunity for a captivating adventure at the intersection of art, sports, entertainment, and learning. 

Learning chess at an early age offers incredible benefits. Chess stimulates cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial awareness. It also strengthens executive function by encouraging planning, decision-making, and impulse regulation. Beyond academics, chess nurtures personal development, teaching emotional intelligence, confidence, and sportsmanship. 

Our unique approach to teaching combines the art of chess with an engaging learning environment, where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. Each session is limited to a maximum of 10 children, ensuring focused learning while preserving the benefits of social interaction.

Let’s embark on this exciting journey together!


With gratitude and excitement, 

The Chess Kidding Team

“The best age to introduce chess is grade 1 to 3. And it is like opening gates for education for kids. It sharpens their minds, it [teaches] them about legal framework, concentration, logic. All tests show dramatic increase in both maths and language [in children that play chess]." 13th World Chess Champion, GM Garry Kasparov in an Al Jazeera interview with our Co-Founder WIM Tshepang Tlale.
