Michele, 

Usually our age range is 4-12 but we are accepting a wider range of ages for this program because it is virtual. We can be more flexible because all the kids will be participating at home with help from their families.We will be doing a video ahead of time for you to watch at home and then we will be discussing the video and doing an activity together over video. In October, we will be talking about labeling appliances and then we are going to do a kitchen scavenger hunt. I hope you will apply!

Thank you for reaching out!
Emily
