How It Works
Three simple steps to the crown
Pick the age
Little Rulers (ages 3-5) or Junior Rulers (ages 6-12). Each tier learns at the right level, with the right tools.
Pick the week
Most families start with Week 1: Kitchen Foundations. Then Week 2 when your kid's ready, then Week 3, on through the crown. Pay by the week, book what fits your summer.
Earn the crown
Eight weeks of real cooking. A Kid's Rule Summer Program diploma at the end. And a kid who can actually feed themselves.
Choose Your Tier
Two age tiers, one kingdom
Little Rulers ยท Ages 3-5
Welcome to the kingdom
Where little hands learn big things.
Scooping, mixing, and building confidence. No heat, no knives, just curious little hands learning their first kitchen skills with Chef Chrissy. Every session ends with something they made themselves.
Junior Rulers ยท Ages 6-12
Real recipes. Real techniques.
They'll surprise you at dinner.
Knife skills (age-appropriate), heat, baking, and the full Kid's Rule Summer Program path. Your kid will surprise you with what they can make at home, and they'll be proud to show you.
Meet Your Chef
Chef Chrissy
The chef behind the crown.
Chef Chrissy spent twenty years as a classroom teacher before she fell in love with cooking and went back to school for her culinary degree at 47, graduating with a 4.0 and perfect attendance. She worked her way up through four professional kitchens, eventually earning the title of Chef at The Plum Island Grille and becoming a favorite of Newburyport and Salisbury locals.
Now she's combined two decades of teaching kids with a career in real kitchens to open Kid's Rule. Her belief is simple: cooking changes lives, and the earlier a kid learns it, the better.
