1. Inclusion: We serve all constellations of families and include a variety of providers to meet each family’s unique needs.
2. Education: We provide a service guide as well as service planning consultations so families are aware of what’s available and are prepared when they need support.
3. Access: Our cash fund registry offers families the option to register for services, providing them with greater access to services thanks to contributions from friends and family.

The U.S. Chess Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission of teaching students, especially at-risk youth, to play chess in order to improve their academic and social skills.

The U.S. Chess Center’s teaching methods are fun and effective. Our nationally certified chess teachers help students become creative, enjoy learning, and pursue their passions. We emphasize problem-solving over memorization; as our students learn to think independently, they achieve success and develop well-earned senses of accomplishment. We provide students from throughout the Washington metropolitan area opportunities to meet as friends and equals over the chessboard at our classes, tournaments, and special events.

Not only have our students become champions in chess (winning more than 50 state and national championship titles), they also have used chess to accomplish their academic and life goals. Two of our students earned Rhodes Scholarships and hundreds earned academic scholarships. See where our students have gone to college.

Since 1992, we have taught chess to nearly 40,000 students and at over 150 schools across the National Capital Region.  View a map of the schools and places where we have taught chess or held events over the past 30 years.

curriculum starting from grade 3 with the internationally acclaimed model.

Hello DC Area Moms! My name is Claudia Smistek and I am a research assistant at BL2. We are doing a research project on how children learn over time. Here is more information listed below if you are interested:

Are you interested in how children learn? We at the Brain and Language Center for Neuroimaging (BL2) are too! We are part of the National Science Foundation and Gallaudet University’s Science of Learning Center, Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2). In our BL2 Center, we are conducting a study on how [deaf and hearing children] learn, particularly in the areas of language, reading, and other higher cognitive functions (attention and emotion).

We are recruiting children [that have no hearing loss, use hearing aids, or use cochlear implants]. [Both monolingual (English) or bilingual (English/ASL) who will soon enter the 1st grade are invited to participate]. We will test them before and after their first year of primary schooling. Our studies are designed to be a fun opportunity for both parents and children.

Children will play science games while we measure their brain activity using harmless light (safe with hearing aids and cochlear implants) and their temperature using a thermal camera (touchless). This study has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board at Gallaudet University. Participation is entirely voluntary.

We will pay $20 per hour for your participation and travel to/from our BL2 Center. Children will also receive a small toy!

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to call our lab at (202) 618-6808 or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

Au pair coordinator for MD, DC, and VA. I love to help people find an amazing match for their family.

Wouldn’t it be great to know what your grandparent’s first home was like?  What about how she spent her summers growing up?  We have created a user friendly online process for grandparents and parents to write about their lives.  The content is then published in a book dedicated to their children or grandchildren.  It is so meaningful for kids to know about their families.  I also know it gives the “author” pleasure (and let’s face it – something to do right now at home!) to write their memories.
