Young Chef's Academy

Young Chefs Academy is the nation’s first national franchise offering culinary classes, mini-camps, and birthday parties geared toward kids ages 4 – 14. YCA’s environment gives kids the opportunity to discover the significance of cooking while building self-confidence and improving math, science, reading, social, and social studies (multicultural cuisine) skills. Established in April 2003, Young Chefs Academy offers cooking classes to children in a safe environment that encourages discovery and creativity. While learning food preparation skills is the main ingredient at YCA, each class adds a heap of kitchen safety, a scoop of etiquette, a handful of table setting, a pinch of menu planning, and laughter to taste.
