OUR PROGRAMS
Check out below some of New Beginnings specialized programs over the years for your child starting at 3 years old. Our programs focus on enlightening our children to a world that they will eventually experience.
Cooking
Our cooking program allows children a hands-on experience to get involved in the kitchen. The children will learn about kitchen safety, and all types of large and small appliances that can be used to make everyday dishes.
The children will learn how to read a recipe, measure, mix, pour, grate, peel, bake, fry and how to set a table. They will be given the opportunity each week to make new recipes that they will be able to take home and share with their families. This encourages children to try food that they may not have tried on their own time. They are more apt to try something they make here with their peers.
Getting a hands-on experience educates and empowers children to make nourishing food choices. Cooking is a life skill and supports all aspects of education as well, math, science, language, fine motor skills and cognitive development.
**Please be aware if your child has allergies that ingredients maybe used in the program they will be unable to eat. **
