PRE-SCHOOLS

Learning chess at an early age stimulates cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, logical reasoning, pattern recognition and spatial awareness.

Chess requires children to plan ahead, make decisions and consider consequences. This helps children develop skills such as working memory, self-control, impulse regulation, flexible thinking and time management.

Through chess, children learn sportsmanship, emotional intelligence, confidence, self-esteem and other valuable lessons, such as learning from their mistakes and setting goals.

The problem-solving abilities chess teaches translate into improved performance in STEM subjects, the arts, languages, and more.

Chess can help alleviate the severity of conditions such as ADHD, and as individuals mature, it can become an excellent tool for managing stress and anxiety. 

Chess encourages out-of-the-box thinking by requiring players to anticipate multiple scenarios and devise unique strategies. This fosters imagination and innovation, as players experiment with different approaches to solving complex challenges on the board.
