Kids Kitchen provides fun, enriching cooking classes for up to 13 children aged 6-12, every Friday afternoon. Through this program, which runs in 12-week cycles, our young participants develop a wide repertoire of cooking and kitchen-safety skills and learn about food-related topics, including nutrition, meal-planning, food safety, and cultural diversity. The participants choose the main dish and dessert recipes every week, with assistance from staff. Sessions end with a group conversation reflecting the individual children's interests, curiosities, and cultural backgrounds. The term wraps up with an exciting food-related field trip. Recent examples have included Science World and the Vancouver Christmas Market. In addition to the practical skills and knowledge children acquire through our Kids' Kitchen Program, participants also develop a powerful sense of competence and agency regarding their food and nutrition. Like all DTES NH programs, Kids' Kitchen sessions are positive, community-building events, set in a safe and nurturing space.
