What ages is it for?
School-age children, roughly 6 to 16, grouped by age and level. Unsure? Message us and we'll tell you honestly.
My child has never played. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Many start from zero and learn with other beginners at their own pace.
Who looks after the children?
A certified coach is on site all day, with Chess254 trainers from warm-up to wrap-up. You can reach the team on WhatsApp all day.
How do drop-off and pick-up work?
Arrive from 8:00 a.m., head down to the basement of The Mall and sign your child in at the front desk. Pick-up is by 4:00 p.m. Your welcome message has the details.
Can I stay and watch?
On a trial Saturday, yes, for the first part of the morning. After that, children settle best on their own.
What if we miss a Saturday?
Tell us on WhatsApp. Trainers help your child catch up on the idea they missed.
