Funding Usage
I expect to use these funds to pay a store front rent for approximately 1 year in order to establish the local business that supports it self. If I am not able to get the grant assistance, I will stay a sole proprietor in a community center only serving a small handful of children each week. If I am able to get the assistance I can serve more children, and potentially employ other women.

Business Plan
If I am able to move to a store front I can host STEM field trips for local schools, I can upgrade from community center status and be able to bring in older students who are looking for more serious cooking skills. I can bring on other instructors and reach more students in my area. My over all goal is to change the food future from quick fast over processed foods to students who grow skill confidence and know how to use real food in the kitchen. Starting with kids gives us a better chance at a better food future for us all. Telling them "what" they should eat without giving them the skills to do it is useless.

Self Identified Competition
I don't know that I actually have "Competitors " I know there are other people running franchises that allow students to cook, (Flour power, Young Chef academy ) I do not think any of them have really dove into the math, science and skill learning that I include, and none of them are in my immediate area. I am a certified chef, I am a published author and I have been teaching for nearly 15 years. Other kids cooking facilities are not using the in depth curriculum that I am and do more of a "play" in the kitchen model. You will hear things in my class like "Oh, we were just studying this is in science" or "I can't believe you were teaching my 4 year old fractions" We really dive into the geography of food, the history. We focus on the science of it as well as challenge them on the math and build the students confidence in the kitchen.
