Pre-Cotillion I and II encourage children to be comfortable together, to make new friends, and to enjoy themselves. Through role-playing, hands-on activities, and storytelling in a peer group, young ladies and gentlemen emerge from the program with the beginnings of confidence and pose that come from knowing what is and what is not appropriate behavior in a number of age appropriate experiences. Pre-Cotillion I introduces children to basic manners in the home and while a guest in someone's home.  Pre-Cotillion II re-inforces and builds on these skills.  Pre-Cotillion is open to children in Kindergarten through third grade. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and limited. The cost is $195.
