ETIQUETTE CLASS FOR KIDS 7+yo

ETIQUETTE is not just about using a fork and a knife. ETIQUETTE is a proper way to carry yourself around other people, carry a conversation, have proper manners at the table and treat others.

If you had to think for a moment, I would say, probably not.

And this is where I come in.

During this experience, we will "travel" around the globe and learn various culture's etiquette and play international food trivia.
