Testimonials

  • Working for an international company, DHL, as a trainer, I wanted to come to America to learn everything I could about etiquette in the United States. Even though I am in a corporate environment, the children’s program was a great place to begin.

  • Watching Peggy teach the children reinforced everything we learned. The children grasped the etiquette lessons so quickly even though they were just 6 years old. Being a part of this incredible training has changed my life.
