Cookiddoo runs a hands-on after-school cooking program in west Ottawa where kids learn real culinary skills in small, age-based groups. Here are the questions Kanata parents ask most.
We welcome children ages 4 to 15, placed in small age-appropriate groups of up to 10 so every child gets real hands-on time at the stove.
At your school or childcare centre, as part of its after-school schedule. Our instructors bring the ingredients and equipment, and without a kitchen we use a no-cook format that needs tables only. See school & daycare programs.
Session length follows the age of the group: about 45 minutes for the youngest kids, 60–75 minutes for ages 5–9, 75 minutes for ages 9–12 and 75–90 minutes for ages 12–15.
Real culinary skills: knife safety, following a recipe, kitchen hygiene and teamwork. Kids cook genuine dishes they can recreate at home.
Pricing depends on the length of the series and the group size. Schools can start with one reduced-rate pilot session. Call +1 613 710 0554 for a proposal.
At your school or daycare: our team comes to you anywhere in Ottawa. Cookiddoo is based at 301-150 Katimavik Rd, Kanata, Ottawa K2L 2N2. We also run mobile cooking workshops and parties across Ottawa.
