Franklin Road Academy: Tasty Treats

For the youngest aspiring bakers in Nashville, this afternoon camp at Franklin Road Academy gives kids ages four through six a gentle first taste of the kitchen. Centered on creating and baking delicious treats and snacks, campers get to work with real ingredients in a setting designed for little hands — picking up basic baking skills in a way that feels more like fun than school. The week runs June eighth through twelfth, with sessions from noon to three each afternoon, which works well for families who need a half-day option for younger children. Franklin Road Academy's campus on Franklin Road is a familiar spot for many Nashvillians, and the $325 price point makes this accessible for most families exploring cooking camps for this age group. It's a nice entry point if your four-to-six-year-old is curious about baking but not quite ready for more intensive programs.
