Unfortunately we had a terrible experience with this last year. My dd is 3 years old. We showed up for the first session of the morning, I walked up with dd and they said they were full. So we came back for the 2nd session, about 20 minutes early, I wanted dd to be one of the first people in line. So we stood there for about 20 minutes, we were about 3rd in line and more kids kept showing up. The CM's that were setting up were talking to the kids and interacting with them while setting up. So it came time to start handing out chef's hats. She started handing them out and skipped right over dd, intentionally. I was kind of speechless so one of the other moms said, "what about that little girl". The CM said "oh she's too little", never even acknowledging me or my dd. I walked up to the CM who said this and explained that we had been waiting for 20 minutes along with a few other kids, she had interacted with my dd, it was obvious that we were standing there in line to do the cookie thing and at no time did she ever say "your dd is probably to little/young for this event". Her response was oh sorry, you should have known or something along those lines. I was livid, not only is the age requirement not posted but she could have told us this while we waited. So we left, very upset that we had wasted all that time waiting in line. The worst part was we walked past there later in the day and there were kids doing it who were smaller than my dd. My dd was so disappointed that she didn't get to participate and wear the chef's hat. I was very surprised by the CM's attitude and behavior.
If you kids are around 3 years old make sure you talk to the CM when you arrive to make sure they can participate so you don't end up wasting 30 minutes standing in line for something your kids won't do.
