What Parents Say

My 4-year-old absolutely loves the chess stories! She went from knowing nothing about chess to teaching her older brother the basics. The instructors are phenomenal.

We tried traditional chess classes before and my daughter lost interest quickly. Story Time Chess changed everything — she looks forward to every session!
