Culinary Kitchen Lab

We integrated Healthy Living classes into our program, offering children an immersive experience in preparing nutritious meals. These classes not only provided valuable hands-on learning opportunities but also instilled in our participants a lasting appreciation for healthy eating habits. We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Seal Beach Lions, which has enabled us to bring esteemed chefs to our center each month. These culinary experts convey invaluable knowledge and skills to our young chefs, enriching our program with diverse culinary experiences and inspiring creativity in the kitchen.

Cooking rice was like magic! I learned how to measure it and make it fluffy. My favorite part was using the sand toys to shape the rice into cool shapes!"
JacksonAge 9
I never realized how much sugar was in my snacks until we started reading labels in cooking class. Now, I check them all the time and choose healthier options!
OliviaAge 10
I never knew cooking could be so fun! I learned to make fried rice with different veggies and proteins. Now, I experiment with new ingredients all the time!

The revised curriculum for ages 5-7 has been met with enthusiasm and excitement from our participants. Lessons such as “Egg-citing Beginnings,” “Rice Adventures,” and “Pancake Palooza” have not only equipped children with essential cooking techniques but have also sparked a passion for healthy cooking and experimentation with nutritious ingredients. Meanwhile, the curriculum for ages 8-10 and 10-12 has continued to challenge and empower our youth, encouraging them to explore new flavors, master advanced cooking methods, and cultivate lifelong healthy habits.

View U Workshops

In our After School Program, kids engage in a variety of fun and insightful activities led by Tara Farajian, LCSW, and View U interns. Each week, students participate in personal insight activities that foster mindfulness and help them recognize the connections they share with one another.

In addition to these weekly sessions, we host monthly workshops filled with age-appropriate activities designed to instill empathy during these formative years. By teaching concepts of understanding, compassion, and acceptance, we lay a strong foundation for positive social development.

We proudly serve the diverse communities of Orange and LA County, focusing on elementary and middle schools within the Los Alamitos Unified School District. Our program impacts over 150 students annually, nurturing a sense of community and personal growth.
