Preschool Cooking Classes

Ages 2-5

You're never to young to start cooking! This "Mommy or Dad & Me" class empowers your child to become a " Mini-Chef Assistant" in the kitchen as they begin a lifelong lesson of choosing and exploring healthy and whole foods with Mom or Dad.

Children in this age group learn with their senses by tasting, touching and smelling. They also LOVE the hands on experiences cooking provides.

In this hour long series of classes your child will learn about kitchen safety, peeling, spreading, mixing, measuring and so much more!

This exciting series of classes will cover the basics in the kitchen but will also introduce more advanced tasks. Kids will continue knife safety and when teacher approved will graduate to a standard chef knife.

Recipes will increase in difficulty with an increased focus on time  and creativity in the kitchen.

The Kids Cooking Connection loves The “Legacy Chefs” program designed by Healthy Hands cooking designed to unite children (ages 2-13) with active seniors in the kitchen.

Senior communities are an ideal setting where students young and young-at-heart will learn about nutrition and preparing healthy foods from scratch.

HHC Certified Instructors teach each HHC classes in senior living centers using fun, age appropriate lesson plans that lay a foundation for life.

Senior adults are invited to watch, participate, or help mentor a child in the class, bringing the intergenerational community together for precious learning time around the table.

In order to host a class, the senior community is asked to provide a clean space in a common area or activity room with a sink. (No fancy kitchen is needed as many of the recipes are made using simple tabletop appliances).

There is no cost to a seniors’ community for hosting an HHC “Legacy Chefs” class or camp presented by The Kids Cooking Connection.

Senior adults attending a class may be asked to sign a model release form.

We invite you to join HHC and The Kids Cooking Connection by offering the “Legacy Chefs” program as we bring together children and seniors with healthy cooking education and important life skills.
