She studied a variety of savory and sweet cuisines while in culinary school, including Asian cuisine and baking and pastry!

Play and learning go hand in hand. While our storytimes are on break, join other families for a fun playtime (for ages 1-2) with books, toys, music, and all the room you need to learn through play. As Mr. Rogers said, "... for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."
