Curious Crumbs Baking (12 Weeks)

Curious Crumbs invites our youngest learners to explore the wonders of the kitchen through sensory play, storytelling, and hands-on discovery. In this 12-week series, children touch, smell, and mix their way through lessons that introduce early STEM concepts in an age-appropriate and joyful way. Each class blends gentle science (like watching yeast “wake up” or dough rise) with art, movement, and social connection. Through mixing, measuring, and sharing, children strengthen fine-motor skills, learn new vocabulary, and experience the magic of transformation, all while developing curiosity, confidence, and creativity.
