Be the First to Experience the Premier Montessori-Inspired Cooking Academy for Children and Teens this Summer—Camps Start in June
Kelowna, BC – May 1, 2025 Kelowna, get ready! Little Kitchen Academy (LKA), the premier Montessori-inspired cooking academy for children and teens, is opening the doors to its sixth location in the Province of British Columbia at Orchard Plaza 138-1876 Cooper Road, in beautiful Kelowna. Registration is now open for summer camps and classes starting in June, and you won’t want to miss out.
LKA is where every child and teen can develop independence, confidence, and healthy eating habits empowering them to change their lives and those around them. It’s about more than cooking; it’s about making informed, healthy choices that contribute to a better society.
“Kelowna has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Little Kitchen Academy, and we’re thrilled to open registration,” said Paul Larsen, owner of LKA Kelowna. “Our academy provides a nurturing environment where students learn essential life skills, build confidence, and discover the joy of cooking. We are excited to see the positive impact this will have on families and schools in our community.”
Founded in Vancouver, BC by culinary innovator Felicity Curin, branding expert and serial entrepreneur Brian Curin, and social impact investor and entrepreneur Praveen Varshney, LKA is on a mission to empower children to make independent choices enabling them to change their lives and the world around them.
“Paul and his team are about to make a very real, tangible difference in the lives of Kelowna families and schools.” said Felicity Curin, Founder, President & COO of Little Kitchen Academy. “We are confident that the Kelowna community will embrace this opportunity to empower their children and teens to make healthy, independent choices that will benefit them for years to come,” added Brian Curin, Co-Founder, CEO/CMO of Little Kitchen Academy.
LKA’s Montessori-inspired environment is designed to support the growth and development of each child and teen. Instructors show the students how to safely use tools and prepare recipes but step back to closely observe the independent work, only stepping in when deemed appropriate. This approach enables students to learn at their own pace while they acquire practical life skills that foster independence, confidence, and socialization. LKA further empowers students to make better food choices, apply age-appropriate math and science skills in real-world settings, and embrace practices such as recycling and composting. The curriculum also introduces the concept of philanthropy to help children make socially conscious contributions to the world through its global philanthropic initiative, “How Can I Help”. This program empowers students to learn about giving back and making a difference by putting the choice in their hands to support one of three notable causes.
World-renowned celebrity chef and LKA Brand Ambassador Cat Cora adds, “As parents, we have the power to shape our children’s lifelong relationship with food. Prioritizing nutrition education at home is essential for their health, well-being, and longevity. I’m thrilled to see LKA expanding to beautiful Kelowna, BC!”
