About Discovery Chess Academy
Welcome to the Discovery Chess Academy, an exciting addition to Kidd’s Preschool Enrichment Center. Led by Coach Kala Bagley, a passionate chess enthusiast and experienced educator, our academy offers a unique opportunity for your child to develop cognitive skills while having fun.
The Benefits of Chess for Cognitive Development
Chess is more than just a game. It is a powerful tool that helps children enhance their cognitive abilities. Through chess, children improve critical thinking, problem-solving, strategic planning, and decision-making skills. It nurtures their ability to think ahead, analyze situations, and make sound judgments.
Studies have shown that chess stimulates the growth of dendrites in the brain, resulting in enhanced memory and increased creativity. It also improves concentration and focus, as children must maintain attention on the intricacies of the game for extended periods.
Additionally, chess helps improve social skills as children engage in friendly competition, learn sportsmanship, and develop patience. It fosters independence and resilience, teaching them how to handle both victories and defeats gracefully.
