Kid Chess is a wonderful organization that offers tailored chess programs for kids in schools (after school program) as well as online. My son has been playing chess with Kid Chess for four years now and he has thoroughly enjoyed it while learning a great deal. He is now rated at the national level and has done quite well for his age (he is only 9 years old). I learned how to play chess when I was a kid, but in those days playing chess was a bit boring because you pretty much only played egular\ games. But with kid chess, kids engage in all kinds of fun and challenging exercises, even competing against coaches (with coaches having only 30 seconds or one minute to win against the kids). My son also attended summer camps in the past and kid chess camps has always been one of his favorite camps. This year, with Covid-19, I have been impressed at how quickly Kid Chess adapted the kid chess after school program into an online chess activity. My son was able to play every day online for up to two hours with other kids (automated pairing). He usually played about one hour each day and made some good progress while taking his mind away from video games. he now joined the online summer camp and he is excited about being able to continue playing chess while staying at home. If your kid likes chess, I highly recommend Kid Chess. The team is extremely well organized, creative, fun, and they care about kids.

The program is supposed to designed for all the school aged students as they advertised. The kindergartner who is a beginner without any experience with chess is not encouraged to take this course at school. The kindergartner has to play with older kids with better understanding. Very poor curriculum design for younger students. If you want your kids learn somethings in the class, forget it. You have to learn how to play chess yourself and teach them yourself. Let the kids to enroll this course from 2nd grade with the basic skills could be a better choice.
My son loves kid chess! The online program that they put into place after schools closed kept him practicing and challenging other players.
Totally not worth the time, after kindergarten and in first grade no progress made asked the instructors and the site organizer said no one one was there to provide progress. He told me to come next term why would I enroll in next term without you telling me how much my kid has improved and his results prove it. I talked to the kid and it looks he did not get exposure against older kids and opportunity to succeed it looked like he was pleasing little kids then learning anything
This is an absolutely wonderful program. My son participated throughout elementary school & now his younger sister is also enrolled. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I only wish it was available for middle school kids. :-)
