Yes, however, no refunds will be provided. Notice requirements apply and it is up to our discretion to pro-rate your remaining classes.
Our members-only Date Night is held on the first Friday of each month (5:00–7:00 PM). Kids cook dinner, enjoy low-key activities, and wind down for the evening—pajamas welcome for an easy bedtime at home. Children must be 4 years old, fully potty-trained and able to use the restroom independently.
Parents Night Out is an extended version of Date Night, held on the second Friday of each month and open to members and non-members. Kids cook dinner, enjoy activities, and end the night with a movie. Children must be 4 years old, fully potty-trained and able to use the restroom independently.
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our staff actively supervises children at all times—kids are never left unattended. We also intentionally create space for children to build independence and confidence. Because our programs involve hands-on cooking and active play, it’s important to understand that not all bumps, spills, or falls can be prevented, even with attentive supervision. Our role is to monitor closely, guide safely, and respond immediately when needed.
Yes. Our team is experienced in working with children and trained to supervise group activities, maintain a safe environment, and respond promptly to incidents. They are also Food & Allergen Safety Certified, CPR & First Aid Certified and Trained Mandated Reporters.
Some camps include visits to local parks or off-site activities. Our supervision standards remain the same. Children are guided and monitored at all times; however, public spaces, school buses, public transportation and playground equipment involve active movement and inherent risk. While staff are present and attentive, they cannot physically prevent every fall. We focus on proactive supervision, clear boundaries, and quick response.
If a child is injured, we follow established protocols: Immediate staff response and appropriate first aid, Ongoing monitoring of the child, Completion of an incident report, Parent communication at pickup (or sooner if the situation requires)
For most minor incidents, we provide full details at pickup. For more significant injuries, we may follow up within one business day to check on your child. If urgent care is needed, we contact families right away. We know these moments can feel scary—our goal is to respond quickly, communicate clearly, and support both child and parent.
We encourage children to grow in confidence and independence. Children should be able to: Follow basic instructions, Participate safely in group activities, Use the restroom independently
We gently encourage participation while respecting each child’s comfort level. Our team will support and guide them without pressure. We love the phrase "we don't yuck someone's yum" and "Have fun & Be Brave" meaning to try new food!
Yes, we do our best to accommodate common allergies. Please notify us in advance so we can plan appropriately & ensure this information is completed in your Sawyer Profile and/or Waiver form.
Comfortable clothes that can get messy (because fun happens!) and closed-toe shoes for safety. Plus a hair tie for longer hair! And for camp, please dress for the weather as we like to get the kiddos outside!
We know that life happens! Between sports, school events, vacations, and the occasional sick day, we want to make it as easy as possible for families to stay enrolled and keep cooking. Makeup Classes Families enrolled in a full semester receive flexible makeup classes during their active enrollment, subject to the following guidelines: Please notify us at least 4 hours before class if your child will be absent. Makeup classes are available only when space permits and must be scheduled in advance. Makeup classes must be used during your current semester enrollment and do not carry over to future semesters. Missed classes without at least 4 hours' notice are not eligible for a makeup. Enrollment & Tuition Enrollment reserves your child's seat for the entire semester, not individual class attendance. Tuition secures that space whether your child attends every class or misses one due to illness, vacation, sports, or other personal commitments. For this reason: Semester tuition is non-refundable. We do not offer prorated tuition for missed classes. Refunds or credits are not available for absences due to illness, travel, scheduling conflicts, extracurricular activities, weather-related school closures, or other personal circumstances. If your child withdraws after the semester begins, the remaining tuition is non-refundable. Class Cancellations: If Junior Chefs Kitchen cancels a class for any reason, we will schedule a makeup class or provide an appropriate credit at our discretion. Thank you for helping us create a consistent experience for every young chef while maintaining small class sizes and a well-prepared kitchen.
Yes!! We would love to host your classroom or grade. We can accommodate individual classes of up to 28 children or split up grades into a few hour-long classes. Please contact hello@juniorchefskitchen.com to schedule your field trip today!
Our summer camps require advance planning for staffing, ingredients, field trips, and supplies, so all camp registrations are considered final. Cancellations: Camp registrations are non-refundable. Credits or refunds are not issued for illness, vacations, scheduling conflicts, missed camp days, early pickups, or changes in personal plans. Schedule Changes: Changes to camp weeks or locations may be requested at least 14 days prior to your scheduled camp. If space is available, we may accommodate the change. A transfer is a courtesy and is not guaranteed. Requests made within 14 days of your camp start date cannot be accommodated. Partial Attendance: No refunds, credits, or prorated tuition will be provided for missed days, arriving late, leaving early, or switching from full-day to half-day attendance. Medical Emergencies: In the event of a documented medical emergency preventing attendance for an entire camp week, please contact us. Any accommodation is made solely at Junior Chefs Kitchen's discretion. If Junior Chefs Kitchen Cancels If we cancel a camp, families may choose either a full refund or a transfer to another available session. We appreciate your understanding. These policies allow us to appropriately staff our camps, purchase fresh ingredients, reserve field trips, and provide every camper with the highest-quality experience. This revised policy applies to all registrations made on or after July 1st. Registrations made prior to this date remain subject to the cancellation and transfer policy in effect at the time of booking.
