Just a note to let you know how beneficial "Polished" was to Jill. She has been practicing her etiquette at every meal. Our family has learned so much from her. Her eye contact and speech with adults has improved as well. "Polished" was the highlight of her week for the last few months. She was excited to attend each class. Jill is so proud of her accomplishments in a social setting. Thank you so much for putting together the program. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and company tonight. It was very special . . . one to remember. I was impressed with all of the girls . . . proper table manners and speeches. Everything was top notch, from the venue to all five courses.
With much appreciation,

Basic introductions, telephone etiquette, correspondence, everyday courtesy, conversational skills, formal dining...whatever the subject, our classes provide instruction in a fun and relaxed setting. With a child focused, and age appropriate curriculum provided in a relaxed, enjoyable setting, we help children develop confidence and the lifelong skills needed for a successful future.
A small group format — a maximum of 10 children per class — assures personal attention for every student. Food is served at most sessions to allow each student hands on experience and practice, culminating in a fabulous catered Five Course Dining Experience, during which they put their new skills together.
Handouts and letters following each class keep parents current on topics and techniques covered during each class. Every session ends with a special parent wrap-up session, at which the students demonstrate what they have learned.
The Etiquette and Image Development Session will include dining and social etiquette skills for the elementary age student. The student will learn how to master table place settings as well as the proper use for each utensil. In addition the student will learn critical social how to’s, such as making a proper introduction and handshake, table manners, telephone (including cell) etiquette, conversation skills, respect and courtesy in everyday situations, writing a proper thank you note, and speaking in front of a group. Food will be served at five of the six sessions, with the fifth session consisting of a catered five course dining experience.
