Little Chefs Cooking Class: Preparing Picky Eaters for Meals!

Dinner time is a special opportunity to connect as a family, but it's also a time of picky eating and meltdowns for many little ones.

Hummingbird is here to help! We are offering weekly small group sessions at our Elmhurst, Westmont, and Woodridge locations to help kids prepare, taste, and get comfortable with a variety of foods and build mealtime skills. Hummingbird's Little Chefs classes are run by Pediatric Feeding Therapists who make the sessions fun and engaging!

You don't have to dread, struggle through, or resort to chicken nuggets for dinner. Let our team of Pediatric Feeding Therapists introduce social tools that will teach kids about gathering around the dinner table to enjoy a good meal with laughs!
​These are 45-minute, drop-off classes for kids ages 2-12.

​If your child falls outside the age range or the class time does not fit in your schedule, please still submit registration below, and a team member will contact you for assistance.

Hummingbird Little Chefs will:
  • Help prepare and taste a variety of foods
  • Work on mealtime skills
  • Create a recipe book
  • Build language, friendships and social-emotional development

Little Chefs is offered every month, giving your child plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun!
