The Molly Manners 8 session program is a fun and interactive class where students will learn positive social skills that will equip them for life.  When children also learn the "why" behind good manners, they will most likely retain what they learn.  The Molly Manners program uses real-life, everyday situations students will encounter and is not stuffy or "formal" in its presentation.  Class structure is in a personalized, one on one setting and tailored for each student's age level.  

The Molly Manners program has a solid reputation for teaching good manners using the Molly Manners copyrighted curriculum to include its own Flip Book presentations with animated graphics, activity pages, sticker charts for at home, and Polite Pals characters to teach each positive behavior. All classes will include a review and discussion of the previous class key topics. 

Parents are encouraged to enroll their child in eight, 30minute sessions so that their child completes the full program. Each class below is 30 minutes.
