The purpose of the National League of Junior Cotillions Pre-Cotillions™ program is to give young people instruction and practice in the courtesies and character traits that make life more pleasant for them and those around them.

Peanuts is the Pre-Cotillion mascot who plays a vital role in the program. He interacts with students in all Pre-Cotillion levels and performs important duties in each class.
   
Handout booklets with pictures and games to reinforce what is taught in class are given to each student. A note to the parent is included, outlining each class so parent's can be familiar with the curriculum.
   

Pre-Cotillion I offers instruction in the areas of character education, basic manners in home - appearances, introductions, sports manners and basic table manners. The Manners Song™ , fun poems and games are designed to reinforce curriculum.

 
Pre-Cotillion II offers continued instruction in the areas of introductions, sports manners and basic table manners.
   
 

The curriculum is a more advanced study of common courtesies including an intro to sports etiquette, money management, and interactions at school and extracurricular activities.

Students are introduced to basic line dance steps and participate in the courtesies associated with an instructional dinner and fast food dining.

 
Games relating to the curriculum have been uniquely designed to entertain and appeal to the pre-cotillion students to reinforce skills taught during class.
