EtiKids teaches social skills and school skills to children in a fun and developmentally appropriate manner. Through EtiKids, children learn to become functional members of society by participating in activities such as art, cooking, dance, play, and movement. The unique curriculum, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, enables children to use their own senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. The positive behaviors learned in each class become life-long skills as the children have the opportunity to practice and apply them to their daily lives. As a well-mannered person is recognized and acknowledged, having greater opportunities and potential for leadership, EtiKids is an investment in your child’s future!
EtiKids classes have been featured in private schools, summer camps, apartments and playrooms throughout New York City. Workshops have also been offered for Brownie Troops in Bergen County, New Jersey and the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey. We would love to speak with you about bringing the enchantment of etiquette to your group!
