FAQs

What if my child has food allergies? No problem! Letters prior to the class will be sent out listing activities and paired foods that families will bring in for their own kiddos. 


Due to varying food aversions and hygiene, all foods are brought in by their respective families. We will also be showing kids how to wash their food and prepare it working our little muscles in our hands.


What approach will the therapist be using? We will be using play based sensory exploration,  we want our kids to WANT these foods. No forcing here! Graded exposure, laying off the guild trips and teaching at home techniques to parents/families/caregivers and teachers that will last a life time of healthy eating!
