BCFS Kids Club: two weeknight sessions blending learning and play. Ages 7-12. First session free.
BCFS Kids Club is the youngest of our programs and the most reliable. Two weeknight sessions per week, ages 7-12. Sundays focus on math fundamentals through games and puzzles; Tuesdays are chess: opening principles, tactics, and a friendly weekly ladder. Volunteer parents run snack. Everyone gets a turn.
Consistent times, week in and week out. Pulled live from upcoming events.
Every June the kids show their families what a year of maths and chess looks like — a friendly puzzle relay, a chess simul against the coaches, and a certificate for every player. Snacks provided, proud parents guaranteed.
Three pillars: maths, chess, friendship. The first two come with a curriculum; the third is on the house.
Number sense, basic algebra, pattern recognition. Through puzzles and quick-fire games — never a worksheet.
Beginners start with opening principles. Intermediate kids run a weekly ladder with reset every term.
Sessions wrap with snack from volunteer parents and 20 minutes of free play. Parents welcome to stay.
