About Us

At Food Sense™, we believe early childhood is the perfect time to build positive, joyful relationships with food. Our approach emphasizes curiosity, play, and discovery, never pressure or shame.

We use food-neutral, sensory-rich experiences that help children explore new flavors without labels like “good” or “bad.” Children learn that food is an opportunity for connection, not judgment.

We also recognize that access to fresh, nutritious foods is not equal for all families. That’s why we support efforts to expand food access and advocate for a future where every child can explore, taste, and enjoy nourishing foods.

By blending playful education with shared meal preparation, we nurture lifelong positive relationships with food, creativity, and a sense of community - one joyful bite at a time. 

Curiosity First 

We nurture children’s natural wonder through playful, sensory-based exploration that builds comfort and confidence with new foods.

Positive Experiences 

We create joyful, pressure-free food moments that support children in exploring at their own pace.

Food Neutrality

We avoid moralizing food and help children develop healthy self-worth independent of what they eat.

Connection and Community

We use shared cooking and tasting experiences to strengthen relationships and classroom culture.

Equity and Access

We acknowledge barriers to nutritious food access and support efforts that make food exploration equitable for all families.

Mission 

To nurture children’s curiosity, confidence, and connection through joyful, sensory-based food experiences that support positive, pressure-free relationships with nourishing foods.

Vision

A world where every child joyfully explores real food, feels valued and capable, and grows up connected to equitable, nourishing food experiences.
