Mini Chefs ~ Cooking Classes for Kids Preschoolers ~ Age 3 - 6

Children at this age are curious and eager to get into the action, making this an ideal age to get kids involved in the kitchen. Although we consider these classes to be “parent-assisted”, we ask parents for minimal assistance, if any, instead encouraging even the youngest kids to take initiative as we introduce concepts like kitchen safety, basic measurement and teamwork. We also stress academic skills of counting, color, shapes and following directions. Specifically, we aim to teach important cooking skills such as mixing, pouring, wrapping, shaking, spreading, peeling, rolling and mashing, although measuring, cutting, grinding and grating can all be part of the curriculum.
Once a month we offer a one hour class for budding chefs in the 3-6 year old age group. We prepare a single recipe, usually with 2-3 servings, and do a craft or read a book while we wait for it to cook. Our student/teacher ratio is typically 6:1. Register for individual classes or 4 class series.
We also schedule private classes for Mom's Groups and Preschools who have at least 6 children.
