Kitchen Safety

Safety is our top priority. Children will be taught the importance of handling utensils and ingredients safely, understanding kitchen hygiene, and using kitchen appliances under supervision. No sharp knives or heat will be used for preschool aged children. 

Basic Techniques

From chopping vegetables to mixing batter, children will master basic cooking techniques that form the foundation of culinary expertise. 

Healthy Eating Habits

We believe in promoting healthy eating habits from a young age. While no food is ever labelled “bad” and we certainly enjoy our fair share of sweet treats, Children will learn about nutritious ingredients, balanced meals, and the importance of a well-rounded diet. 

Confidence Building

As children gain proficiency in the kitchen, they will develop confidence in their abilities, fostering a sense of independence and self-esteem.

Creativity & Imagination

Cooking is an art, and we encourage children to unleash their creativity in the kitchen. They will have the opportunity to experiment with flavors, invent their own recipes, and decorate their culinary creations.

Cultural Exploration

Through cooking, children will explore diverse cuisines from around the world, learning about different cultures and traditions in a hands-on and delicious way.

Teamwork & Collaboration

Cooking is often a collaborative effort, and our academy promote teamwork and cooperation among children as they work together to prepare meals and snacks.
