Refugio Gastineau: My daughter's preschool graduation ceremony was just right. They had a bbq out the back with family, the graduating kids put on a little show and song and the remaining kids did a farewell song to our grads. Each child was called up and given a book with a certificate congratulating them on one positive thing about them. And it didn't go for too long!
Debora Rinderer: I am probably going to be the odd ball here but I disagree with having a preschool or kindergarten "graduation" ceremony. Why not call it a promotion ceremony or something else? Graduation should be when you earn if after staying in school for a period of time.
Luana Carothers: In the past my Preschool students have put on small plays with costumes and music. The end result is amazing and the parents are thrilled. But, it is A LOT of work!! This year my class is performing songs about America and our freedom. We are singing four songs total. One has sign language and we are a! lso going to attempt the Star Spangled Banner (wish me luck!) The students also wear caps and gowns and receive preschool diplomas. Afterward we serve cake and punch....Show more
Davis Zou: Something like a covered dish supper , a picnic or a tea party where the kids sing a song or two and everyone gets a certificate are OK. I've seen too many of these which are major productions that require lots of rehearsal. These are extremely stressful for the kids and the teachers and are usually done just to please the parents. They are disrespectful to the kids and a waste of time.
Zora Mazzie: Many preschools have a ceremony for their classrooms. Personally I don't like a graduation formality. I prefer a program with songs, a bit of drama, nursery rhymes and snacks. Children prefer party over ceremony I think and it is more age appropriate. They like to perform their songs etc. by age four and some threes too.
Michelle Sohre: Very well done! The students march a! nd put on a show. Parents seem to prefer caps and gowns, alth! ough it has varied from year to year depending on the principal. Refreshments that follow range from finger foods to buffet style entrees. Tasteful, delicious and nutritious. Parents and students are very happy about the entire event.
Michel Mccaulley: I was surprised to discover that kindergarten graduations and preschool graduations are actually very common. And why not? When you really think about it its only rewarding and encouraging the little guys to finish school, to graduate, to walk across the aisle. With drop out rates as high as they are thats a great message to send. I actually did some work with a couple kindergarten graduation companies. They have preschool graduation gowns, graduation tassels, diplomas and everything else youd need for a real graduation. They also have party packs with plates napkins and cups. http://www.rhymeuniversity.com...Show more
