About this event

Little Chefs Nov 18th Class Theme: Tacos, Your Way

In this hands-on class, children will mix a simple corn tortilla dough, press and cook their own tortillas, then create a seasoning blend for ground-beef tacos. With guidance, they’ll help prepare the taco meat and finish their tacos with a selection of toppings they choose themselves.

Our Little Chefs classes are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and introduce young children to the joy of food through hands-on, play-based learning. Each week features a new theme, keeping the experience fresh, engaging, and full of discovery.

Classes blend education with cooking, incorporating STEM concepts and sensory exploration in a way that feels fun and natural for young learners.

During each class, children will:

• Engage in hands-on cooking and snack-making, using simple, age appropriate techniques

• Explore colors, textures, and flavors through guided sensory activities

• Build fine motor skills and coordination through pouring, mixing, spreading, and assembling

• Participate in motor planning activities and games that support movement and confidence

• Enjoy storytime, coloring or craft connected to the day’s theme

Our classes are intentionally structured to balance activity and focus, allowing children to learn through doing, exploring, and playing. We emphasize process over perfection—encouraging creativity, independence, and a positive relationship with food.

Whether it’s their first time in the kitchen or they already love to help at home, Little Chefs will leave each class proud of what they’ve created and excited to come back for more.

Age Recommendation (2-6): While ages are suggested, it's important for a parent or guardian to stay with their child throughout the entire class.

Ticket Information: No ticket is needed for the Parent or Guardian accompanying the child.
