CentraState Offers Healthy Cooking Class For Kids

Kids will learn how to make healthier versions of some of their favorite foods.

CentraState Healthcare System is teaming up with Get Moving-Get Healthy New Jersey to offer local children a chance to learn about healthy eating. Their interactive food class, called “Adventures in Eating for Kids: Sensational Sauces & Pizza,” will start on Saturday, August 4. The class will run from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at CentraState’s Star and Barry Tobias Health Awareness Center on West Main Street in downtown Freehold.

A registered nurse and cooking instructor will teach children about making healthy versions of some of their favorite foods, such as pizza and salsa, through fun, hands-on activities and tasting samples. Each child will also receive a free chef’s hat for participating in the program.

Registration is required to participate, and all children must be at least eight years old. For more information and to register, call (732) 308-0570 or visit Centrastate's website. The program fee is $12 per individual child and $10 per additional sibling.
