💥I've been a little quiet on THIS account lately, mainly because there's been a LOT of activity over on my OTHER account @thekidzkitchenofnj THE KIDZ KITCHEN! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳👨‍🍳👩‍🍳www.thekidzkitchen.com I'm a full time, school-based SLP with a "passion project" that has been in the works for a VERY LONG time!! After years of blogging about blending COOKING and COMMUNICATION, creating a series of language based recipe resources (LANGUAGE CHEF) and integrating "Fun Food Fridays" into my therapy practice, I opened an IN-PERSON, DEDICATED space where my ideas could materialize in a more tangible form---THE KIDZ KITCHEN, WHERE COOKING AND COMMUNICATION GO HAND IN HAND! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳🫶 www.thekidzkitchen.comWe've been in business since March 2024 with weekend classes and we just completed our summer camps! And what a summer it has been:💥We held three AMAZING SOLD OUT camps❗️💥We welcomed SO MANY junior chefs👨‍🍳👩‍🍳💥We taught over 30 RECIPES, TONS of CULINARY SKILLS and supported COUNTLESS COMMUNICATION CONCEPTS! 👏👏👏We are SO PROUD of our JUNIOR CHEFS as they COOKED, CREATED, COMMUNICATED and COLLABORATED! We loved hearing the FEEDBACK and reading the GOOGLE REVIEWS from our families. Their appreciation and support of our mission is so rewarding and humbling.❤️⚠️BUT....there's still a little bit of summer left, and we're making the most of it!! The Kidz Kitchen is hitting the road! 🚗🚗🚗 Chef Rose will be bringing The Kidz Kitchen to another location (to be revealed soon) before the summer ends for a "PAGE TO PLATE" PRESENTATION 📖📚🍽 where LITERACY, LANGUAGE and COOKING are melded together for a fun and educational learning experience!! We can't wait to share The Kidz Kitchen with more junior chefs! .FOLLOW @THEKIDZKITCHENOFNJ for all the delicious details! ... See MoreSee Less
