Our Philosophy

Helping Children Understand Food and the World Through Experience

Our program emphasizes family interaction, sensory experiences, cultural exploration and creative inspiration.

We want children not only to "eat food," but also to understand where food comes from, appreciate different culinary cultures, build connections with food through hands-on experiences, and create memories of "sharing" and "culture" through family interaction.

Interactive Questions

"What do people eat for breakfast in this country?" "Smell this — what spice is it?" "Which bread would you most like to try?"

Interactive Mechanisms

Flip boards, scent boxes, drawer mechanisms, projection interactions, food models, stamp tasks, sound interactions
