Food Art for Kids LLC was started by Michelle Thaler in late 2010. Our first summer program took place in summer 2011 and has been going strong ever since.
Michelle in her own words: I am a mother of two living in Brooklyn since 1999. Prior to having kids, I worked as a lawyer at a software company, earned an MS in Real Estate Finance, and did some real estate work. After having children, I quit the corporate world and decided to focus on my family. I have traveled the world (with and without my family) and have a deep appreciation for art and food. In 2021, I earned a certificate in nutritional health coaching and have integrated this knowledge into my existing practice of childhood education. In 2023, I have added a Gut Health and an Emotional Eating certificates to my credentials. In 2024, I obatined my certificate in Hormone Health. My nutritional educational journey is on going, and I am happy to be able share my knowledge with my students and their families.
I am deeply interested in the intersection between health and nutrition and how I can educate the next generation of humans into applying healthy living concepts into their lives from an early age. To this end, and to further my commitment to our community, I have started a non profit – One Apple A Day Foundation, Inc.- aimed at promoting the consumption of fruit and vegetables in children in under served communities in NYC. Through my foundation, I provide nutritional education to children in T1 schools around the city.
My hope is to share my knowledge and love for food and heathy living with my students and their families; equipping them with the tools for a lifelong healthy living.
Please join me on this quest!
