Company Description:

Since 2011, Chess at Three has provided New York City schools and families with top-tier educational and enrichment experiences for ages three and up. We teach tricky subjects like chess and music through fun, engaging stories that allow even the youngest students to discover core concepts alongside silly, memorable characters.
