A LEADER IN TEACHING THE SOCIAL SKILLS NECESSARY
TO FACE EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WITH
GRACE, INTEGRITY & CONFIDENCE
Act As If Etiquette & Protocol offers fun, modern, engaging etiquette classes & workshops for Children, Teens, Young Adults & Business Professionals
We are in the etiquette business. Manners in children can be a frustration to instill, but etiquette goes beyond table manners, and works its way into all manner of social skills. Teaching children table manners can be as easy as teaching professional etiquette. With our classes, table manners and other social skills can be developed with ease.
To teach children etiquette, you have to find the commonality between children and manners. You will find that with our social skills curriculum, it can be easy to cultivate manners in children. Your child will learn skills that will impact them scholastically, socially and even into their professional life. Confidence will blossom with the social skills that will allow your child to forge ahead into their future with success. Our social skills curriculum will teach children manners, and give then the tools that will go from table manners into an understanding of business etiquette.
Host a Special "One of a Kind Manners Party” Invite your friends! Come dressed up to enjoy a "3 course meal" (soup, entree, desert) together. Great idea to celebrate a birthday or special event. Great for all ages!
Have your group come to us for etiquette classes! See below for class offerings!
Parents are always Welcome! We "partner with parents" who believe that good manners are key to their child's future success. As parents we spend a lot of time, money, and effort to give our children the best education we can. We want our child to have every opportunity to succeed in life. In this highly competitive world the one who demonstrates good manners & social skills will have a distinct advantage.

Etiquette Trainer
Many parents share with me the frustration that kids today lack basic training in etiquette and social skills.. Adults & businesses are looking for ways to improve & make a good impression in this competitive world.. Parents are concerned their child will not have the manners and respect needed to succeed later in life. In business as in life, the one who demonstrates good manners will have a distinct advantage both professionally and personally. Whether needing to learn, practice, or "brush up" on your manners, our programs and workshops teach the social skills necessary to face everyday situations with grace, integrity,& confidence!
On a personal note, as a mom & parent, I do believe there is no greater compliment to receive than when someone comments that you have "nice" kids.. As a business professional I have witnessed first hand how being comfortable & knowing how to present yourself can make a difference. to success.. Growing up in the LI polo community, traveling, and meeting people from all backgrounds, I was lucky to have parents who saw the value in treating all people with respect. As my husband and I raised our sons, I tried to instill in them the life lessons I have learned:; treat others how you would like to be treated, & try to face everyday situations with grace, integrity & confidence. That foundation brought me to where I am today, owning a business that promotes the benefits of using common courtesies, civility in trying to make a better world for all. In my spare time I enjoy swimming, horse racing, polo and most of all spending time with my family and friends.
