In an age where convenience often leads to processed foods, LKA empowers kids to make healthy choices, develop confidence, and build habits that support their well-being well into adulthood.
In addition to fostering independence and confidence in children, LKA offers parents the unique benefit of three uninterrupted hours to themselves during each class. While your child is fully engaged and cared for in our secure kitchen, you can enjoy personal time—or simply relax—knowing your child is in the best hands. This blend of safety, learning, and convenience makes Little Kitchen Academy the perfect choice for families this spring.
Expert Insights
“Spring is a season of growth,” shares Felicity Curin, LKA Founder, President, and Chief Learning & Curriculum Officer. “Cooking is one of the most essential life skills. When children learn to cook, they gain confidence, develop healthier habits, and build a lifelong relationship with food—one that supports their well-being long into adulthood.”
“Did you know that children without cooking skills are significantly more likely to rely on processed foods, with studies showing that nearly 70% of the average child’s diet in the U.S. comes from ultra-processed items? This dependence not only impacts nutrition but also contributes to rising rates of childhood obesity and food insecurity. Cooking is one of the most essential life skills a child can learn. It empowers them to make healthier choices and helps combat hunger in our communities,” says Iconic Celebrity Chef & LKA Ambassador, Cat Cora.
