Meet Julia

Kindergarten

Curious cook.
Enthusiastic mathematician.
Kid comedian.

Her appetite for adventure is insatiable.

For kindergartener Julia, a little mess means a lot of fun. From molding culinary-inspired clay creations in the art studio to whipping up her signature banana bread in the family kitchen, Julia digs into every delicious adventure with gusto and glee. 

Her enthusiasm spills over into the school day too—she loves to learn and is currently mastering counting by fives. With a dash of creativity and a scoop of good humor, Julia’s hunger for new experiences is clear, no matter what she’s cooking up.
