Our two kids have really enjoyed Chef Marc and team's cooking classes at Life Plus. They look forward to each session and come home excited to share what they have learned. Life Plus has helped build their confidence in the kitchen and encouraged a greater interest in cooking at home. Marc and team do a great job connecting with the kids, making the classes engaging and approachable. His patience and encouragement made a positive impression and we all appreciate the experience this class has provided. We would highly recommend it to other families!

My 8 year old daughter loved the summer camps, all the different dishes she was cooking and trying new flavors. She always came back home with amazing stories of the cooking class new tips she learned in the kitchen. I definitely recommend it for curios kids that are not afraid to try new foods.

My daughter had an amazing time at the cooking camp at Life Plus Los Angeles! She looked forward to going every day and came home excited to tell us about everything she learned. She loved making all kinds of different foods, trying new recipes, and, of course, getting to enjoy everything she made! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. They made her feel comfortable from day one, as if she had been part of the Life Plus Los Angeles family forever. It was such a positive, fun, and encouraging environment, and she can’t wait to come back. I highly recommend this camp to any family looking for a fun and engaging experience for their child!

Took my 16 yr old and met a friend and her daughter for the Brunch class. We had the best time! Learned a lot, and made delicious food. Wonderful experience, even the kids loved it! Planning on meeting up again to take another class soon!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Life Plus Schools! Marc was instrumental in helping bring my daughter's Wicked-themed birthday party to life, and it met all of our expectations! From the very beginning, Marc guided me through every step of the planning process with exceptional attention to detail, professionalism, and care. His communication was always prompt, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. He made what could have been a stressful planning experience feel seamless and enjoyable. The party itself was pure magic! Marc created the perfect playlist that had the children singing along while baking, and every detail reflected the theme beautifully. Watching my daughter's face light up throughout the celebration was priceless. He truly helped make her dreams come true. The entire Life Plus Schools team was fantastic. Every staff member was warm, engaging, and wonderful with the children. Their energy, patience, and ability to connect with the kids created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a unique, memorable, and professionally executed birthday experience, I cannot recommend Life Plus Schools enough. Thank you, Marc, for creating such a special day for our family. We can't wait to come back!
