Little Chefs World
Classes start on Mondays and Wednesdays the week of August 26th.
Cooking is a beloved ritual and a lifetime skill where getting kids in the “kitchen” at a younger age has benefits such as diverse palate, better nutrition as well as social skills, and a gesture of generosity and pride- when they share the meal that they prepared with loved ones. Little Chefs World will offer a hands-on experience where children will learn basic kitchen skills, recipe preparation, nutrition, cooking techniques, safety, and sanitation. Menus change with each session and the children can enjoy their creation in class and/or take it home to surprise the family.
For more information and to register, check out the Monday flyer here and the Wednesday flyer here.

Chess Academy
At Chess Academy, we don’t just play chess, we teach chess! Our comprehensive program offers multiple levels and all of our classes are led by an instructor with new lessons each week.

Chess is a wonderful educational opportunity to help build a child’s ability to focus and understand the art of strategy at an early age.
