The Gollatz Inc. is a modern, updated “social skills” series of classes for boys and girls in a fun party atmosphere.
The Gollatz Cotillion is honored to have personally instructed two of our United States Presidential families.
The Gollatz Team has written a new program to meet and exceed all of the California and CDC criteria for safety while your child enjoys learning manners. Some of the many modifications include: one entrance/one exit / no congregating / a child will be given a letter and number to correspond to their assigned table / 6 foot social distancing / hand sanitizer on each table / masks mandatory when not seated at a table / gloves may be worn but not required. If your child feels ill PLEASE do not have them attend. A sick child will jeopardize the entire class causing the class to be terminated. Should your child be absent, there will be no refunds however, a “power point” will be emailed to the family so they do not miss the lesson. The Gollatz Cotillion reserves the right to take a child’s temperature on their wrist upon entrance to the class. If a child becomes ill the family understands that the child will be placed in another area as to not affect the entire class. All measures are to ensure everyone's safety.
