Private Etiquette Classes for Children & Teens
At Manners & Moves, we offer Private Etiquette instruction customized not only to each child's goals, but also to their age and developmental stage. A 6-year-old has very different social and etiquette needs than a 16-year-old, which is why we create age-appropriate lessons tailored specifically for each child or group.
-
Classes may be conducted one-on-one, with siblings of similar ages, or in small groups of friends within the same age range.
-
Through engaging activities, role-playing, games, and real-world practice, children and teens develop the confidence, communication skills, and social awareness needed to succeed in school, relationships, future careers, and leadership roles.
-
Each private program is customized to the child's age, interests, and specific goals.
