Choose the Right Program for Your Young Chef
Sanitation 101 for Ages 13-19
Teen Chefs Academy is a comprehensive culinary education program designed for students ages 13–19. Through engaging lessons and practical activities, students develop professional kitchen skills, food safety knowledge, leadership, and confidence—preparing them for college, employment, entrepreneurship, or everyday life.
Sanitation 101 for Ages 6-13
Little Chefs Academy is a structured culinary education program designed for children ages 6–13. Through engaging lessons and hands-on activities, students build a strong foundation in food safety, sanitation, healthy habits, and basic culinary skills—developing the confidence, responsibility, and independence to become capable young chefs at home and beyond.
Why Sanitation Academy is Worth it...
Whether your child is 6 or 19, a kitchen without real guidance leads to the same things: wasted food, wasted money, messy counters, and real safety risks. Left to figure it out alone, kids either lose interest or get hurt learning the hard way — right as they're heading toward more independence, not less.
This class gives your child the structure most people never get — real sanitation, real technique, and real confidence, built on 25 years of professional culinary experience and training at Le Cordon Bleu Chicago. Instead of leaving your child's passion to chance, this program feeds it through clever, passionate support at every step.
It saves you money now — less waste, safer habits, a cleaner kitchen. But it doesn't stop there. It's a skill your child carries into adulthood: a foundation for a career, or simply the lifelong ability to feed themselves and their future family well.
Every student who completes this course is prepared to pass the ServSafe exam, at any age. Guaranteed.
An investment that pays twice — at your table today, and in their future.
