Servicios y programas

Kids in the Kitchen is a wonderful program. My daughter participated and found it incredibly engaging - the sessions are fun, very visual, and thoughtfully designed for kids. It's a great way to build awareness about the food we eat while helping children develop healthy habits in a hands-on, age-appropriate way. A big thank you and shout-out to Aifra Ruiz, who leads this program at our school with such energy and care.

My child (2nd grade) was obsessed with replicating the hummus recipe at home. He insisted we use limes instead of lemons because it would taste better, and told me proudly how it had been his job to press the limes and he wanted to do it again. Also now he reads all the labels to check the amount of added sugars in various foods we have at home. Typically he doesn’t tell much about his school day, but he couldn’t stop talking about Kids in the kitchen!!

He came home excited to tell me about the really delicious green juice he made at school. He really wants us to make it at home. It was great to hear that he tried everything, and was excited to be a part of making the food. This was a program he was really excited to talk about without me asking him about it. I hope the school is able to do this program again.

My daughter will now add chia seeds and more greens (rather than just fruit) into her morning smoothies after trying them at school and understanding their importance. She is also taking more initiative and making the smoothies on her own.

We talked a lot about the "green" smoothie and then the kids started thinking what other combination of fruits and veggies we could use to get smoothies with other bright and great colors (red, purple, blue, pink, etc...) and did some brainstorming of recipes.
