Etiquette and Manner's is a unique way of providing practical, hands on, training and mentoring to children on proper social skills, which will help them succeed in life. We cover communication skills, grooming, proper table manner's, proper greeting and handshaking techniques and proper presentation.  Children love this program because they get to participate in a live tea party, exchange greetings and talk as if they were adults. They learn how to set the table and understand which utensils to use for which food courses. This is a must for children who are lacking these skills and for parents who want their children to get an edge on life's simple social skills.
