Prep School is our after-school cooking series designed to build real, practical kitchen skills in a small group setting. This six-week, small-group program is skills-focused designed to teach kids real-life kitchen confidence, one skill at a time.

With a maximum of 12 students, Prep School offers personalized guidance, plenty of time to practice, and the space to ask questions, make mistakes, and try again. Perfect for kids who want to do more in the kitchen—and actually know how.

  • Session 1 Prep School is Mixing, Measuring, and Mastering Recipes. This session runs for six weeks in September and October.

  • Session 2 Prep School is Cooking with Heat 1.0 [Microwaving, Toasting, Griddling, and Melting]. This session runs for six weeks in November and December.

Looking for a delightful, hands-on way to spend a day off from school? At Happy Place Cooking Space's Day off of School Class, kids ages 5–12 will cook, taste, and learn! Together we’ll whip up 2-3 fun and seasonal recipes—all while practicing real kitchen skills like measuring, mixing, chopping and working as a team. By the end of the class, your child will head home proud of their creations and excited to share what they’ve learned.
