As a Montessori-inspired cooking academy, our students are empowered to cook on their own which builds confidence and independence, while gaining practical life skills. Tasting ingredients and learning descriptive words increases curiosity, exploration, and food literacy.  We believe the most impactful way to develop healthy eating habits is to learn to prepare your own food.  Each student has their own professional workspace to create their masterpiece!With a ratio of 3 instructors to 10 students, we’re able to support students as they move at their own pace, ensuring a personal experience. No matter how many times your child comes to LKA they will never make the same recipe twice. How do we do this? We have a growing database of over 750 recipes that have been custom created specifically for our students!

Classes are organized by age group (ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12).  Teen nights are Fridays and Saturdays, 7:30pm-10:00pm.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our kitchen!

When you trust kids, they trust themselves. Since 1980, Steve & Kate’s has put kids in charge of their own learning experience. As they try, fail, and learn on their own, they learn to trust their own judgment, and tackle the challenges of an ever changing world with creativity and confidence.

Campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time including, sewing, stop-motion animation, music, coding, sports & rec, makers crafts, baking, & more. They’ll decide what they want to do, and for how long.

This summer families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. Or, if you need more care, purchase a Summer Pass, which covers the whole season. If for any reason your plans change, we’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end. Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) are included.

Ages: 4–12 | Lunch, snacks, and all hours (8am–6pm) included.

Now in Lakeview, North Center, West Loop, Lincoln Park, and River Forest.
