Ages 3 - 5

Our three-hour work cycle for children 3-5 years begins when the children change into a chef’s jacket and are shown how to properly wash their hands. Together, we work through the recipe of the day by collecting, washing, and prepping our ingredients. We show the children how to safely handle kitchen equipment and clean up after themselves. We set the community table and enjoy the delicious dish while practicing table manners.

• capitalizing on their developmental stage, our recipes are simplified to strengthen their gross motor skills while developing and refining their fine motor skills.
• constant encouragement to try new ingredients, discovering different ways to prepare fruits and vegetables that make them more appealing.
• improving confidence in their 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 they are seasoned”
