Cooking Classes Developed (For 3 to 5 Year Olds)

We strive to create a more educated, able, and healthy society

Classes run year-round and are organized by age group (ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and 13-18). Each 3-hour class, students are empowered to cook on their own, which builds confidence, independence, and healthy eating habits, all while gaining practical life skills, learning food literacy, and polishing up their table manners by sharing meals around the LKA community table. Classes are available 7-days a week and we are open year-round, including certain holidays, and offer camps during Summer, Winter, and Spring breaks.

We provide educational enrichment that embraces each child’s own ways of learning:

• Children crave consistency and repetition. It allows them to be comfortable with their new environment and develop practical skills in the kitchen, and in life.

• The curriculum capitalizes on children’s developmental stage and sensitive periods, so the recipes are simplified to strengthen their gross motor skills while developing and refining their fine motor skills.

• Students are constantly encouraged to try new ingredients, and discover different ways to prepare fruits and vegetables that make them more appealing.

•  improves confidence in students’ abilities to describe what it is they like and don’t like, moving on from the blanket statement “I don’t like tomatoes” to “I like tomatoes when I can pick them
