Wondering how to find an afterschool program that your child will love? One solution may be to introduce them to extended projects in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).

They keep class sizes small and have a flexible registration process throughout each year. The program is located in 255 Newtonville Ave, Newtonville, near the Cabot Field Park.

Holiday Etiquette Programs for Ages 7-17

The holiday season is fast approaching. Do you wish your child would partake in a conversation at the dinner table instead of “bonding” with their cell phones or playing games on their iPad?

The Etiquette Academy of New England’s Program will prepare your child for Thanksgiving Dinner or the next family gathering. Children will learn how to start and maintain conversations with adults and peers as well as how to introduce themselves, when to interrupt, how to knock when entering a room, and much more.

The program will help reinforce your child’s basic manners, conversation techniques, and table manners, skills you have been teaching them at home, but now in a fun setting with their peers. Children will learn how to set the table, use their napkin, pass food, and use utensils the European and American way.
