What your child will learn in our cooking classes
Little Kitchen Academy’s cooking classes for kids are specifically designed for each age group’s developmental stage. Our expert and caring instructors guide students through hands-on recipes. Each session and cooking camp focuses on a specific skill or theme, with every class building on the last. This allows our students to progress through different levels of learning with each visit.
Choose from a variety of skills and topics for your child’s next cooking class.
Note: Skills and themes are available seasonally and may vary by location.
