community teaching kitchen
We know that kids’ food choices can affect their health, both now and in the future. That's why we offer group nutrition classes and cooking classes at Dayton Children's Connor Child Health Pavilion in our community teaching kitchen for kids and adults of all ages. From topics such as picky eating for young kids to nutrition for the student athlete, our interactive classes have something for everyone!
These 60-90 minute educational cooking classes offer time to build the necessary skills to prepare healthy, cost friendly recipes while working through nutrition related content. Each class offers hands-on cooking experiences in a positive environment that will help build lifelong nutrition knowledge and cooking skills.
