Our Work In New York City
Children participating in our programs have educational experiences around food, tasting, nutrition, and health that are developmentally appropriate and build upon previous concepts and experiences.
All our programs are hands-on and exploratory based, as well as including opportunities for writing and drawing and contain take-home materials for families with recipes, related activities, and opportunities for further discovery.

We implement 4 sessions long, weekly programs for all children in the 1st-5th grades at each of our participating schools, ensuring a “whole school” approach to food education for both children, teachers, and families.
