Our Kids Programming at The Brooklyn Strategist includes After-School Classes as well as Camps during the summer and on public school holidays. Our kids programming is centered around Neurodevelopment milestones and skills. Our After School classes are either general board game classes where students get opportunities to play a variety of games or specialist classes, where students go deeper on popular games like Chess, Pokemon, Dungeons & Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering.
