Little Kitchen Academy

Three-hour weekly sessions let children and teens ages 3 to 18 cook from scratch in a purpose-built kitchen. Little Kitchen Academy is a Montessori-inspired cooking school serving Denver's Cherry Creek area, with small classes, individual workstations, and instructors who prepare the environment and give students room to work independently. Students use real tools and ingredients to make healthy recipes, building practical kitchen skills and nutritional literacy along the way. The curriculum connects cooking with hands-on math, science, and problem-solving. Monthly sessions feature themes such as Meals on the Go and Bake Sale Classics. Gift cards are available year round for children and teens, and sessions give students time to practice cooking, from measuring and chopping to plating a meal they made themselves.
