What we refuse
No tuition. No “hold a seat with a deposit.” No French-language track. No banking form. Independent website, local crew, foundation groceries.
Why
The table is the mission.
If a kid is hungry, homework is theater. Big Table Kids exists so East End after-school time starts with a plate, then keeps a 41,000 sq ft hall open for work and play.
Houston after 3 pm.
Navigation Blvd sits between EaDo and the older East End. Families here mix English and Spanish at the same stove. This site stays English-only. Kitchen staff can take a Spanish question at the line.
What we plate
Hot supper 5:30 weekdays. Quiet Table. Court. Lab. Studio. Garden herbs for the line. Camps and trips still $0.
