🧠 Did you know cooking can actually boost your child's brain power?

Our blog dives into the science behind how kitchen activities strengthen executive function skills—the same abilities kids need for homework, organization, and managing emotions.

Six ways cooking builds better brains:
✅ Planning & Organization
✅ Working Memory
✅ Focus & Attention
✅ Problem-Solving
✅ Emotional Regulation
✅ Impulse Control

Perfect timing—our Kitchen Confidence Classes start next week! Kids ages 10+ will build these essential life skills while having fun and making delicious recipes.

Two sessions available:
📅 June 26th OR July 9th at 10 AM
📍 Summit Ranch, 18555 Johnson Drive, Shawnee, KS

We loved welcoming the incredible clinical team from The Children’s Place to Summit Ranch on Friday!

Their visit was filled with meaningful conversations, hands-on experiences with our animal partners, and shared passion for helping kids heal and grow. It’s always inspiring to connect with professionals who are just as dedicated to strengths-based, trauma-informed care.

Thank you for the important work you do every day—and for spending time with us out at the ranch. We’re so glad you came.
