Description
At Little Cooks Club, we focus on getting busy moms interested in cooking quick, nutritious meals for the family while spending quality time with their children.
We offer educational lessons aimed at children aged 2-15, moms, school leavers and domestic workers.
Children: Try our hands-on approach of introducing children to new foods, with a view to an appreciation of good food and a healthy diet. Children love to cook and, by introducing them to the basics of cooking, they are given skills that will be useful throughout their lives. They need to understand nutrition in order to establish healthy eating habits.
Moms, school leavers and domestic workers: Healthy, everyday cooking classes in the convenience of your home.
Little Cooks Club started as a programme to introduce children between the ages of 2 and 15 years to the basic principles of cooking and nutrition. The main aim of this is to encourage an awareness of healthy eating by having fun while learning an important life skill.
Most parents, with busy schedules, don't have the time to cook with their children at home and are even more discouraged when facing the mess that follows. Little Cooks Club allows parents the opportunity to get back-to-basics with their child, spending an hour a week having fun and being creative in the kitchen.
Many educational skills are covered in the programme:
* Language skills: terminology, foods, equipment and following instructions
* Tactile: the sense of touch is a very important sense to develop for little ones
* Maths skills: measuring, weighing and counting
* Colours, shapes, textures and art
* Science: how the properties of food changeSocial skills: teamwork which encourages self-esteem
* Fine Motor Skills when cutting, mixing, mashing, separating, rolling and pouring.
All this happens under the guidance of the teacher and the parent/child minder.
