23 Jul The Brooklyn Strategist

The Brooklyn Strategist has been providing Brooklyn with quality game-focused programming for over 15 years. Whether your child is interested in board games, card games, or role-playing games, we offer an environment that emphasizes face-to-face interaction free from any digital distractions.

Every weekday this Fall we’ll be facilitating a wide variety of activities from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Our staff provides hands-on, expert guidance and instruction, helping kids from 5 years old (Kindergarten) up to 16 years old develop strategies, tell stories, navigate competition, and, most importantly, have a blast.

We are excited to be running Fall Afterschool out of our brand new location right next to Borough Hall! For those of you who remember us from our old location, we are now a quick 20 minute walk up Court St, in a newer, more spacious, and brighter storefront! We are still offering pickups from schools in the Carroll Gardens area, as well as expanding our range up here in Brooklyn Heights!

We offer pick up directly from school dismissal within 2 miles of the store. Pick ups are conducted based on the number of kids being picked and staff availability (so tell your friends at school to join you!)

Late Crew (4-6 PM) and Late Stay (6 PM) options are available as well.

Take advantage of our Early Bird Discount, 10% off the full semester, available until August 15!

Boardgames: Class options from K-4 with hands-on and attentive programming designed to optimize neural development for their age group. Hone skills like simple to advanced math, memory and recall, questions of inference, and many others!
