We approach this class as if we are teaching a life skill and it is a part of our Art of Life Program.  Learned skills will follow the student for his or her entire life. We are very deliberate in our approach to teaching. We use tools that are safe and easy to use and meals that are easy to create at home in a safe way.

We foster independence and teach the students the true fundamental skill of caring for themselves. 

This class will foster self -confidence, encourage positive self-care, teach healthy choice making and build skills that work toward independence and a successful future.

The Basics Class uses tools such as electric skillets, electric griddles, crock pots, and air friers.  This allows the student to learn how to food prep without the dangers that can come for beginners with stoves and ovens. This allows the student to eventually be able to manage this task without parental or adult supervision.

The cost of the class is $65. 

We require students to register 7 days in advance of the class to allow us to order the freshest food available and to ensure each student has what they require.

The class must be prepaid in advance. Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

We offer direct billing for any OWDD organizations who offer it. Contact us for more details.
