The Minimaster Concept
Through our journey of teaching we developed a playful program that fosters children starting from 2 years on. Many studies show the profound benefits of chess and the effectiveness of learning through play like instill confidence, sharpen critical thinking, boost emotional intelligence, enhance arithmetic skills and strengthen academic performance.
This innovative MINIMASTER program includes a huge variety of behavioral and interest based activities. During the classes we offer a stimulating and widespread learning enviroment with many sensory and movement related exercises and games. With this specially designed program we cover every aspect of your child’s development, from social interaction to physical activity to cognitive learning through play. Through that the children develop the confidence, creativity, curiosity and learning skills.
Our lessons offer a safe, fun and nurturing environment and include interactive moments, physical movements (like chessercizes as combinations of psychomotorical exercises and chess), storytelling and guidelines for game play at each level of development.
Our MINIMASTER program consists of 2 levels: prelevel 1 and prelevel 2. Through that we can focus on the development areas of each defined age group. Since we work in small groups with experienced teachers, each child can grow on its individual pace.
The classes are designed in 6-month increments.

In our prelevel 1 MINIMASTER program the children can experience lots of games and interactions that helps them express their emotions and build up self-esteem, self-awareness and inner strength.

We accompany the children to explore their life and surrounding and promote their learning capabilities by initiating activities based on the children’s play behaviors and interest to stretch the body and mind. From sensory stimulation to problem-solving games, memory and attention exercises and storytelling, our classes use play-based activities to stretch the body and mind.
