Our Partners
Our Young Chefs® Academy Partners share the same philosophy as Julie and Suzy, our Co-Founders. They believe that at Young Chefs® Academy, it’s all about building relationships. The moment a child walks through our doors at Young Chefs® Academy, they will feel like they are walking into their own kitchen. Because it IS their own kitchen! Our Young Chef members will be greeted by a friendly staff member who greets each child by name and with a smile on their face. And just as important, we are cultivating a love and appreciation for cooking with our students that will result in a healthy relationship with cooking and cuisine to last a lifetime.
Young Chefs® Academy is proud to be an exclusive provider of Furi/Rachael Ray’s Yum-O! quality line of products. Yum-o! products are an upscale, state-of-the-art line of children’s cooking utensils designed especially for Rachael Ray. Launched in 2006 by Rachael Ray, Yum-o! is a nonprofit organization that empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking by teaching families to cook, feeding hungry kids and funding cooking education and scholarships.
