Culinary Experiences at Le Petit Pâtissier
Enrichment Classes
Our enrichment classes are designed to provide a safe, inspiring environment for your child to learn foundational cooking skills that will last a lifetime… and so much more. Our goal in each class we teach is to empower your child’s creativity, confidence, and curiosity.
Our classes are hands-on and feature fun recipes your child will be excited to make, high-quality ingredients, and instruction and support from a classically-trained chef, and at the end of class, your child will enjoy sharing a meal with friends. Your family will also receive a copy of all recipes made so your petit pâtissier can practice skills at home.
Classes are designed for particular age groups and will involve developmentally appropriate tasks for your child.
Birthday Parties
Make this year’s birthday uniquely delicious and fun. Your child and friends will become chefs for the day as they craft their own personal pizzas and decorate custom cupcakes.
Birthday menus can also be customized.

Our philosophy and approach
Our culinary arts classes provide children lessons and skills that will last a lifetime, equipping students with foundational cooking skills and techniques, and also providing opportunities to:
⭐Refine fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
⭐Practice and refine executive function skills including focus, creating and following a plan, sequencing and logical thinking, and time management
⭐Explore math and science concepts such as following a formula, measurements and fractions, and physical and chemical reactions
⭐Develop a taste and appreciation for fresh, whole foods and flavors, including how different foods nourish our bodies, providing a foundation for a healthy and fulfilling relationship with food
⭐Develop an appreciation for new foods, flavors, cuisines, and cultures, expanding their culinary horizons, and more generally, their openness to new experiences
⭐ Exercise creativity, and gain confidence in their ability to accomplish tasks independently
We are thoughtful about our pedagogy, and believe children learn best in a warm, encouraging environment and from instructors with a gentle approach. Our priority is to promote students’ sense of independence and confidence, and to nurture their innate curiosity and creativity. When kids learn new things in a way that makes them feel supported and capable, it sets them up for a life-long love of learning and trying new things ✨
