Little Kitchen Academy Denver 9+CO Summer Camp

Little Kitchen Academy Denver 9+CO is the leading Montessori-inspired cooking academy for children ages three through teen. Little Kitchen Academy (LKA) is the key ingredient for an independent child. The LKA team provides a safe, inspiring, and empowering space for children to identify, develop, and refine their senses. Through joy, mindfulness, and learning, the LKA experience creates a foundation for a healthy lifespan through responsible eating choices: from scratch to consumption.

Located at 4064 E. 8th Place in the thriving and family-friendly 9+CO Development, Little Kitchen Academy Denver provides local families with seasonal, year-round cooking class sessions organized by age group (ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and 13+ years old). Students experience a three-hour class once a week during the school year or over five consecutive days during Summer, Winter, & Spring breaks. Students learn how to make healthy, delicious, and seasonal meals from scratch to consumption—all while experimenting with math and science concepts,working on their independence and confidence, and polishing up their table manners by sharing meals around the LKA community table. Sessions are limited to just 10 students and are overseen by three instructors. The curriculum focuses on seasonal, locally grown, and organic produce and ingredients, and students enjoy the fruits of their labor for a “scratch to consumption” experience at the end of each lesson. All students are welcome in this fully inclusive program. The program, which is nut, meat, poultry, and seafood free, also can accommodate those with gluten, dairy, or other allergies.

LKA’s Montessori-inspired environment is organized to support the growth and development of each child. Instructors show the students how to safely use tools, but step back to closely observe the independent work, only stepping in when deemed appropriate. This approach enables students to learn at their own pace while they acquire practical life skills that foster independence, confidence, and socialization.

Summer Camp sessions offer children a unique alternative to summer activities, and gets them away from being in front of their screens. Your children will leave our kitchen excited about the ingredients, recipes and foods they have tried, and feel empowered to prepare them at home for the family.
