Kids cooking classes are filled with many things: life skills, real-time science experiments, creative expression, and — in the right atmosphere — a whole lot of fun. While involving our kids in dinner prep is a great goal, it’s not always possible… especially when it’s 6pm and everyone’s hangry.
At a cooking class, kids get the chance to create in a more relaxed environment. So lace up those aprons, wash your hands, and find a fun kids’ or family cooking class near you!

Kidinary Cooking Academy
Kidinary Cooking Academy is a mobile, nut-free cooking school serving Naperville and Plainfield. We bring hands-on cooking classes and camps directly to schools and to local facilities (open to the public). We offer fall classes (once a week) as well as cooking camps when school is out (lunch included).
Our fall classes (ages 4-13) build real independence—skills kids will use through college and beyond. Every class teaches kitchen confidence, self-sufficiency, and practical life skills while reinforcing what they learn in school. Kids develop communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities while exploring different cultures through food.
They'll know how to take care of themselves through cooking and nutrition education—a confidence that spills over into everything else. We're fully equipped and allergy-friendly—every child belongs at our table.
Classes start September 8th. Register now at kidinarycooking.com/activities/cooking-classes
