The Little Things was started by Emily Yeo and Valerie Lee, a pair of friends who share a love of food and a passion for educating young lives.

In most schools, there is a heavy emphasis on scholastic excellence in young children, with little for the intangible aspects of their education - which are equally important in securing a wholesome and healthy future. The "real world education" that children crucially need should be complemented by academic subjects, not replaced.

This is when the idea of The Little Things was first born - a novel concept intended to develop Self-Savvy™ individuals.

To ensure that the lessons are fun and easily related to, Emily and Valerie chose "home" as the setting and "food" as the medium of learning. Classes are structured yet open-ended, safe yet exciting, guided yet independent, and the children will get to interact with familiar foods in unprecedented ways. The Little Things' curriculum strikes a perfect balance between learning and play.
