Pre-Cotillion Tea & Etiquette 1A May 17th, 2pm Moores Lane, Brentwood

Tea & Etiquette: A Mother’s Day Experience

A beautifully curated afternoon designed to celebrate the bond between a child and the special woman in their life—mother, grandmother, or cherished mother figure.

“Tea & Etiquette” is more than a tea party. It is an experience that gently introduces children to confidence, foundational manners, and gracious social skills in a setting that feels both elegant and inviting.

Together, you will enjoy a guided etiquette lesson woven naturally throughout the experience, alongside a thoughtfully prepared tea service, light fare, and engaging activities—all designed to create meaningful moments you’ll remember long after the afternoon ends.

Held the weekend following Mother’s Day, this event also makes a thoughtful and memorable gift—one that invests not only in time together, but in skills that last a lifetime.

Details:
Ages: Pre-K through 5th Grade
Duration: 2 hours
Date: Sunday, May 17, 2026
Time: 2:00–4:00 PM
Location: KWP / Fairytale / NLJC Offices
6970 Moores Lane, Brentwood, TN
• Investment: $190 for one adult and one child
    Additional sibling: $75
    Additional adult: $95

Limited Seating.

An advanced Tea & Etiquette experience for older students will be offered in the future.

HOW TO REGISTER:
Register based on where your child attends school and select the appropriate option.

Then choose “Pre-Cotillion Tea & Etiquette I.”

After registering your child, select “Add additional child to this registration” to enter the attending adult and/or add another child.

Please include the attending adult’s name and relationship in the notes.

If adding a sibling, do so before submitting registration.
