Cooking Classes

From the website:  http://www.Jillscookingwithkids.com/

Summer is finally here and we are ready to start cooking! When planning summer activities and camps for your children, cooking classes are a great option. Individual classes, as well as three and four day camps are available.

The classes are in my home for a realistic experience. They are indoors and therefore cool and comfortable. The children learn many basic and advanced cooking techniques they will use throughout their lifetime.

I am now offering a limited number of classes for children five years of age. All other classes are for ages 6 – 16.

Jill’s Cooking with Kids offers beginners and advanced cooking classes. The children  use their own creativity, while having a great time. Exploring the world of cooking can be fun and rewarding.  Call now to schedule a class for your child.




Children’s Theatre Program

Inviting all children who love to explore new activities:

  • theater
  • drama
  • character
  • costume
  • improvisation and more

to come join in the fun Sundays from 10:30 until 11:45, June 7 – July 26.  The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Lafayette is sponsoring a theater program taught by Josh Coen, a dynamic young theater major at Northwestern University.  Each Sunday will focus on different elements of the theater arts through fun hands-on activities.  For example, the children will make simple puppets and a puppet show may be rehearsed and performed in the next few weeks.  

The lessons will culminate in a play the students will plan and produce for an audience of parents and friends.  The play will be held on July 26th at 11:00 am.  If your child would like to participate in the puppet show or play, please commit to attending as often as possible.  We know summer schedules are varied, with vacations, camps and other activities, but the lessons will be cumulative and build on one another.  Please commit to bringing your child to two out of the three lessons prior to the play (July 5, 12, 19) as well as the performance July 26.

There is no charge for participation.  Parents will be asked to volunteer to bring juice and a simple snack on a rotating basis.  Parents will also be asked to be classroom assistants on a rotating basis. Classes held at Cite des Art.
