A little more about us
Why Food Sense?
At Food Sense, we believe that food should bring joy, not stress. That’s why our classes are designed to help preschoolers explore food through their senses — seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, and listening — in ways that are fun, safe, and pressure-free.
Unlike many programs that emphasize only cooking activities, Food Sense integrates food education as a core component, helping young children develop an early appreciation for fresh fruits, vegetables, and diverse flavors.
We serve preschools and home care providers who want to give children — and their families — a positive foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating.
How It Works
Our curriculum uses a sensory-based approach that invites children to explore food through curiosity, play, and discovery—without pressure, judgment or abstract nutritional concepts.
Each lesson incorporates hands-on exploration of different foods, followed by the creation of a simple recipe that students prepare and share with classmates.
This process not only strengthens their understanding of food but also connects exploration with the joy of preparing and enjoying a dish together.
A Fresh Approach to Food Education
Instead of teaching children about “healthy” versus “unhealthy,” we create experiences that encourage them to explore food with curiosity and confidence. Our goal is to help children develop the ability to eat mindfully — learning to notice how different foods look, feel, smell, sound, and taste, and how those foods make them feel.
Through our gentle, sensory-based approach, children are never pressured, shamed, or punished. Instead, they are invited to explore food on their own terms. This simple, joyful process can transform the way a child relates to eating — turning mealtimes into opportunities for discovery rather than struggle.
