Edible Eduction

Rheitta Ohene-Amoako, the owner of Learning Hive, leads Edible Education Atlanta. Learning Hive was established in 2013, offering early learning, preschool, afterschool, and summer camp enrichment for school-age children. The core of the Learning Hive curriculum has always focused on hands-on learning experiences for children. Cooking and, more recently, gardening has always been incorporated into the activities at the centers. After years of offering cooking activities using random recipes found on the internet, Rheitta searched for a more structured cooking curriculum for children to include in the after-school club offerings. After much research, she stumbled on the Kitchen ala Carte through a third-party vendor in 2019, which led her to the Edible Education Educator training program. In May 2020, Chef Ann and her team traveled to Atlanta to take Rheitta and her team through a 2-day of intensive training on the Edible Education Curriculum. The following month, Rheitta and her team traveled to Virginia to get first-hand training at the Edible Education headquarters in Midlothian. Also, they got a tour of the factory where the Kitchen ala Carte is manufactured.

After many conversations with Chef Ann and her team, what started as an afterschool club and then extended into a school holiday and summer camp program has grown to the first stand-alone Edible Education location in Loganville, Georgia.

At Edible Education, the mission remains the same—to get everyone excited about real food—real food, real kids, real good! Let’s get cooking!
