Knitting Lessons

Give your child the gift of learning to knit!

It is a skill that lasts a lifetime!

I teach knitting classes for beginners ages 8 to 12. Children will learn all the basics, such as casting on, knit and purl stitches, how to read a pattern, and how to choose the right kind of yarn and needles. We will work on simple projects that children can take home and use for years to come.

ages 8-12 only

$30 per class hour

Baking for Kids

**Mason Cottage Day LLC is a nut-free classroom!**

I teach beginning baking lessons for children ages 4-12. Students will have fun learning to make and bake cupcakes, cookies, cakes, pies, pizzas, brownies, monkey bread, Dutch Baby pancakes, and more!  All ingredients and cooking tools will be provided, and students will get to eat their own creations and take home leftovers. Recipes and easy-to-follow directions will be sent home at the end of each lesson.

Learning to bake teaches children organization, math, and reading skills.  Baking a yummy treat builds confidence, too!

ages 4-12**

** children ages 18 months to under 4 years old can learn to bake, too!  Parents must accompany their young children in this case.

Story Time and Pretend-Play

When good books are paired with fun and creative play centers, children gain confidence and understanding in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.  Also, playtime helps children learn about taking turns, having conversation, and getting along with others.

Centers include a kitchen area with dining space, an animal care clinic, a building tent, a mini model home, a nursery and play kitchen/dining room, and a children's library.

There is also an art center with watercolors and other materials for art creation.

for all ages

(under 4 must be accompanied by a parent)

Creative Writing

We will learn about different forms of creative writing by studying and working on projects, including poetry, short stories, plays, children's books, scrap books, picture books, and various essays.

The projects will be tailored specifically for each age group.

Reading, Writing, Science, and Math

I also tutor students ages 4-12 in reading, writing, science, and math.  Send me an email telling me what you need, and I will create a class opening for it.  I am also able to tutor one-on-one.

It really is that easy!  I have experience teaching reading, writing, science, ESL, and math to preK-6th grade students!
