CookLearnGrow is a culinary education provider focused on hands‑on cooking and baking programs for children and community groups. The organization partners with schools, community centers, and churches to deliver after‑school sessions, holiday classes, and multi‑week clubs targeted mainly at elementary grades (PK–5) while also offering youth bridge classes and adult workshops.
Programs feature seasonal recipes and a rotating curriculum. Many fall 2025 listings specify eight‑week sessions, one‑hour themed classes, and specialty workshops such as a Girl Scouts knife safety badge session and adult charcuterie classes. CookLearnGrow runs birthday party experiences in multiple Texas markets and offers class formats for classrooms, small groups, and private events.
Instructors lead students through safe, age‑appropriate culinary techniques, including measuring, mixing, basic knife safety, and baking fundamentals. Sessions emphasize teamwork, confidence building, and practical life skills that complement academic and social development. The organization maintains a calendar of scheduled sessions and school partnerships for fall 2025, with dozens of listed programs and community offerings.
Families and program coordinators can find options for Grade K–5, preschool/kindergarten classes, specialty holiday cooking, and short badge‑style workshops. CookLearnGrow’s public listings include sessions across school districts and cities, plus adult and private event options, giving families multiple ways to participate in hands‑on culinary learning.
