Kids Cooking Series

There are three multi-week kids cooking series offered throughout the school year. The sessions are aligned with the Newton Public School calendar. Classes are held once per week for 1-2 hours, depending on the level, and generally incorporate both cooking and baking. Registration is based on the student’s age.

• Students aged 6-9 years.  Drop off classes for students who are beginning to develop their skills. They will cut, chop, stir and mix. Class time is 90 minutes.
• Students aged 9-11 years.  Additional kitchen skills are learned through more complex techniques such as searing, sauteing, and folding. Class time is 2 hours.
• Students aged 11+ years.  Students learn about seasoning to taste, culinary terminology, and knife skills while working on more sophisticated menus. Class time is 2 hours.

Parent-Child Workshops

Designed for parents/caregivers to attend with children aged 3+, these workshops are offered during the weekends as well as during school vacation weeks. Check the online schedule for dates, times, menu themes and fees.
