Little Chefs: cook together, connect together
Little Chefs is a hands-on group therapy program where children work together to prepare a delicious recipe from scratch — think homemade pizza dough or topped waffles.

How Little Chefs works
Every child takes an active role in the cooking — measuring, mixing, assembling and creating — which naturally calls for constant communication, cooperation and teamwork.
What children gain
- Turn-taking and sharing
- Following multi-step instructions
- Asking for and offering help
- Negotiating and deciding as a group
- Independence and confidence
- Pride in what they’ve made
Each child takes home what they’ve made, plus a recipe pack so the whole family can cook it again.
Pricing
From $90 per child, per session, including all ingredients and the recipe pack. NDIS funding may apply — contact us to discuss your child’s plan.
