We went for a Junior Chefs (9-14 year old) class and made brunch. We were given a printed “cook book” to take home as a keepsake. Wonderful experience!

Frequently asked

What requirements do you have for me to sign up my child for a class?
plus-icon

Assuming that your child under the age of 18 meets the age requirements for the class, we require a waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. Click here for a copy of the Under 18 Waiver.  We encourage you to download, print and sign the waiver and bring it to class with your child (or email it in advance to amy@kcculinary.com). If someone other than the parent drops off your child and requests to sign on behalf of a child, they will need evidence that they are a legal guardian for that child.

We reserve the right to require proof of age for any student attempting to attend a class that we feel is not within the age requirements for that class. Should that student not have such proof of age in the form of a valid passport, birth certificate or other similar official document, we reserve the right to not allow him or her to attend and participate in the class until such proof is provided. In this case, the phone number on file at registration will be contacted and if proof of appropriate age cannot be provided at that time, we will ask that the student be picked up immediately. Payment alone does not guarantee admittance to class and no refunds will be given.

How do I know if a class is right for my child?
plus-icon

Classes are designed, taught and designated based on the developmental age described in the class description. When you attempt to enroll a child into a class above his or her age level, that child will likely not get the instruction appropriate to his or her age.  Also, there may be techniques taught that are not suited for younger children, and the teacher will not change teaching styles to accommodate a lower age level.  The instructors teaching our kids’ classes are experienced instructors. That said, classes have not been designed to offer the optimal experience for children who may have issues with concentration, difficulty sitting still for extended periods of time, or who struggle with behavioral issues in a classroom.  Should we encounter a student who falls within these categories, we will contact you to pick up your child and will not be able to offer a refund.  Please feel free to contact us in advance of the class if you have any questions or concerns.

Does my child need to bring any food or equipment to class?
plus-icon

Your child does not need to bring any additional food or equipment, everything they need will be provided for them during class. They will also try all of the food they make during class, and even take food home with them. We find that our Junior Chefs are quite full after class.

How should my child dress for class?
plus-icon

They should wear comfortable clothing! They will be getting very hands-on and potentially a little messy during class, so they shouldn’t wear anything too fancy or impractical.
