Kitchen Classrooms

Founded in 2011 as a 501c3 nonprofit, our mission is to inspire kids to eat their vegetables. We teach low-income elementary children cooking and nutrition to improve our health, environment and economy. We have developed a 14-week curriculum. We use positive discipline in our instruction, and we keep our lessons fun, approachable, and hands-on. We use Broccoli Boundaries & Radish Routines to help students build lifelong habits and to become Food Adventurers. We started our nonprofit serving one school, and are now serving 800 elementary students in 8 schools weekly.

W.J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School was founded in 1928 and has been designated as a Miami-Dade County historic landmark. As a museums magnet school, we utilize object-based and project-based methodologies in our daily instructional practices. Students use real-life artifacts, artwork, and models in order to bring abstract ideas to concrete understanding. What better way to incorporate real-world problem solving than through the use of our garden??

The Agrinauts Training Program takes on the challenges of the once established horticulture classroom at the Ghazvini Learning Center in Tallahassee, Fl, to pioneer students to develop their lifestyle and ocllective culture consciously through our relationship with food, academics, home, and community.

Wellness in the Schools is a national non-profit that inspires healthy eating, environmental awareness, and fitness as a way of life for kids in public schools. Through meaningful public-private partnerships, we work with schools to provide healthy, scratch-cooked meals, active recess periods, and fitness and nutrition education. Our partnership approach drives systemic, long-term change, shifting the entire culture of schools.
