Kid Chefs

Do you have a young chef in the making? GUILD’s cooking classes provide a space for children to explore their culinary creativity while learning food preparation skills that will set them up for success in the kitchen.

Delicious and healthy recipes are a key ingredient of every cooking class at GUILD. We teach students how to chop, dice, peel, slice, wash, strain, core, bake, toast, whisk, fold and mix. Students will learn to read recipes and measure ingredients in a way that makes recipe preparation (and clean-up) easy and fun!

Cultural awareness is an important part of our program. We carefully select recipes that expose students to the foods and dishes of other countries. Our instructors share interesting facts about world cuisine and encourage students to share their own cultural food experiences with classmates. Ages 5+

M.A.D. Scientists: Amazing Engineers

M.A.D. stands for Making Art Discoveries—a unique program where science, engineering, and creativity come together through hands-on exploration. In our Amazing Engineers series, young makers will discover the exciting world of engineering through imaginative building challenges, inventive designs, and creative problem-solving.

Each class introduces children to engineering concepts as they design, build, test, and improve their own creations. From bridges and towers to moving machines, clever contraptions, and innovative structures, students will experiment with materials, explore how things work, and discover the possibilities of engineering through art and design.

Along the way, children will develop critical thinking, collaboration, perseverance, and confidence as they turn big ideas into real creations. Perfect for curious kids who love building, tinkering, experimenting, and figuring out how things work. Amazing Engineers encourages children to think like inventors, create like artists, and discover that there's more than one way to solve a problem!

Maker Kids

Designed with homeschoolers in mind, Maker Kids is a creative enrichment class where children can explore, experiment, and make art in a supportive studio setting. Each session invites students to dive into hands-on projects using a wide range of materials and techniques—painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, and more.

Guided by experienced instructors, children work through engaging projects that encourage curiosity, creative problem-solving, and independent thinking. Lessons are thoughtfully structured but flexible, allowing students to follow their interests, make choices, and express their ideas in their own unique way.

Maker Kids supports skill-building across disciplines, helping children strengthen fine motor skills, visual thinking, perseverance, and confidence—all while having fun. Just as importantly, the class provides a social, collaborative environment where homeschoolers can connect with peers, share ideas, and proudly take home their finished creations each week.
