However we are more than happy to help in a pinch.

Kids Saturday Cooking Classes
Yes, you still need to register for each class. When you purchase a package of classes, you are essentially purchasing credits to be deducted from each class you book. In the case of the kids classes you are purchasing 10 credits and for adult classes you are purchasing 4 credits.
The first step is to purchase the credits and the second step is to use the credits.
So step #1 is purchase credits
Step #2 is choose the class you want to attend and book that class as you would normally do. The difference will be that you will not be asked for a credit card payment. You will simply deduct 1 credit from your Real Food Academy balance.
More importantly, purchasing a package of classes tells us only that you've bought a block of credits. We still you to tell us WHEN you are coming to class. Then and only then will we know the details of you or your child and most importantly whether or not your child has any food allergies.
This is why you need to register online for each class.
The reason we insist on this rule is that your child needs to focus on the instructor. Parents can be very distracting to their children and this is not safe in many cases. Also, believe it or not, your child behaves MUCH better when Mom or Dad is not around! Please trust us on this one.
Your child will have a far better experience if you are not in the classroom. You will be invited into the classroom at the end of the class. That is when your child will have the opportunity to tell you all about their great creation. You will even have a chance to sample what they made.
We thank you in advance for respecting this rule. :)

Cooking Field Trips
- The age of the children will affect the time needed. Younger children take longer then older children.
- The size of the group affects the time. Larger groups take longer then smaller groups.
- When we find the room with all the needed tables and chairs in place, that saves of time. If we don't have to gather tables and chairs from other rooms in the school we can save a lot of time.
