Children's Cooking Programs

The Chef Upstairs Offers Kid-Friendly Food Workshops for All Ages

— March 4, 2016 — Lifestyle
The Chef Upstairs is a Toronto-based culinary school that specializes in a family-friendly children's cooking program. Designed to fit the busy schedules of urban families, the program consists of evening and weekend workshops along with lengthier courses that last anywhere from two to eleven weeks.

Additionally, The Chef Upstairs also lets visitors host children's cooking birthday parties as well as week-long holiday camps that are an ideal activity for kids during March Break and Christmas holidays. In addition to embracing DIY maker culture themselves, Millennial parents are also encouraging their kids to take up activities like cooking, crafting and gardening from an early age.

This kid-friendly culinary program is a great example of a children's activity that encourages hands-on learning rather than screen time -- often a concern among many parents in today's tech-obsessed world.
Trend Themes
1. Hands-on Learning - The hands-on learning trend presents opportunities for businesses to offer interactive experiences that help children develop new skills.
2. DIY Maker Culture - Businesses can tap into the DIY maker culture trend by providing children with opportunities to engage in activities like cooking, crafting, and gardening.
3. Screen Time Alternatives - The growing concern among parents about excessive screen time opens up opportunities for businesses to offer alternative activities that engage children in real-world experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Culinary Schools - Culinary schools can incorporate children's cooking programs to cater to the demand for hands-on learning experiences.
2. Event Planning - Event planning companies can specialize in organizing children's cooking birthday parties and holiday camps that promote hands-on learning and creativity.
3. Education and Learning Centers - Education and learning centers can diversify their offerings by providing classes and workshops that focus on the DIY maker culture and provide alternatives to excessive screen time.
