Food Art for Kids is a daily educational / instructional program for kids 5 to 11 years old. The program runs Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm; On Friday dismissal is at 2pm. Our multi age group averages about 15 children a day.
Here is a description of a typical day:
Please note: on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays, circumstance permitting, we may go to Brooklyn Heights’ Green Market which is located in Borough Hall. There, we pick our own produce, which we later use for that day’s recipe(s). We may also go to other local food markets throughout the week as well.
