Why a 4 to 6 specialist
Little kids don't learn like big kids. So we don't teach them like big kids.
Built only for ages 4 to 6
Short, playful 30-minute classes paced for little attention spans, with lots of games and lots of praise.
No chess knowledge needed
Not for your child, not for you. We start from “this is a rook” and build up one piece at a time.
Thinking is the real goal
Chess is the tool. Focus, patience and planning are what your child takes into school and life.
What your child learns
From “what's a rook?” to playing a real game
30 units in 5 phases, paced for little learners over about a year.

What parents say
Parents notice the change at home
My kid is 6 years old and she is shy, but she liked Lakshaya sir. He is soft, with a low voice. She enjoys her class.
Parent of a 6-year-old · Coach LakshayaI have seen my son go from hating chess to absolutely loving it. Even his teachers were surprised to see the shift. He looks forward to his sessions with Gaayathri.
Parent · Coach GaayathriThe coach tailors the lessons to her pace, making them both fun and educational. I’m so impressed with the progress she has made.
