Weekends, School Breaks

During this in-your-kitchen experience, kids will learn and bake the recipes for traditional French desserts: from crepes, to madelines, to sablés, and more. During series, they'll bake a new patisserie each week, and learn about the country of France and the regions from which their delights hail, create French crafts, and gain new French vocabulary words as they travel through their experiences. Bon appétit!

What Parents Are Saying

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Elizabeth created fairy magic for my 5 year old’s party! The children made fairy houses, listened to stories, and made fairy dust. The children loved the entire experience and were entertained for the entire two hours.

Elizabeth created a world of wizarding magic for this 9 year old birthday party. The children has so much fun making wands, potions and snitch catapults! She handled everything and kept the children happy and entertained while the adults sat on the deck and put our feet up! It was everything my son wanted and more.

Chef Elizabeth handled two 3-year-olds in the kitchen with ease! Both children are French speaking and she communicated with them in the language which was awesome to see. When the baking was finished I enjoyed the story time and learning the history of the madeleines that they baked. We all had such a fun time and can’t wait to have her back!

As a parent it was great to have an experience that my child could do independent of me.

Our Cupcake Wars Baking Experience with Elizabeth was INCREDIBLE. She is a true childcare pro and managed our group of third grade girls with ease and care. She also went above and beyond to make the experience special for my daughter and stress-free for us as her parents. Amazing experience all around!
