FOR OTTAWA SCHOOLS & DAYCARES

Cooking Field Trips for Schools & Daycares in Kanata, Ottawa

Cookiddoo partners with Ottawa schools and daycares for hands-on cooking field trips where children cook a real meal while practising math, science and nutrition. We host groups at our Kanata studio or bring the class to you.

Do you host school field trips at your studio?

Yes. Groups visit our kids-only studio at 301-150 Katimavik Rd, Kanata, Ottawa K2L 2N2, where children cook and eat a real meal in a safe, drop-off-friendly space built for ages 4-15.

Can you come to our school or daycare instead?

Absolutely. We also bring the cooking program directly to your school or daycare across Ottawa, so students learn right in their own classroom. Call +1 613 710 0554 to plan a visit.

What do children learn on a cooking field trip?

Every session blends real cooking with curriculum skills: measuring builds math, watching ingredients change teaches science, and building a balanced plate covers nutrition, all while kids make something delicious.

What ages are the field trips for?

Our programs are designed for ages 4 to 15, and we adapt recipes and difficulty to each class so daycare toddlers and older students alike stay engaged.

How large can a group be?

Each class stays small, with up to 10 children per group, so every student gets hands-on time and close supervision. For larger classes we simply arrange several sessions.

How do we book a school or daycare partnership?

Reach out through the inquiry form or call +1 613 710 0554. We confirm dates, group size and menu, and handle allergies and dietary needs in advance.
