As a parent, what would you like to see at a preschool graduation?

Ok, I'm a preschool teacher that's hosting a graduation/moving up ceremony for my class. Now as a parent, what would you like to see at a graduation? I was thinking singing 2-3 songs, give out diplomas, show a slideshow of what they did through the year, etc. But what would make it really good?As a parent, what would you like to see at a preschool graduation?
To be honest-as mom, I would like to see him stay in pre-school and not go to big boy school-LOL. But I think the ideas you have are great. Maybe have some of their art work on display in the hall so family can see it (you will get more than just mom and dad-aunts, unlces, grands will all be there). And I would say keep the program short-lots of the kids will have younger sibs there and they can't take more than 20 minutes or so. Maybe as a theme type idea you could use school buses? My son loves buses as do most of the kids at his day care center and that is a big part of when I go to big kid school (getting to ride the bus). If you do a bus theme (not the typical graduation thing) then you could have a bus on the cake for the little reception, you could make bus things for art, they could sing the wheels on the bus and change the words to say things like Wheels go around, we-ll be big kids on the bus off to school, driver on the bus says ';sh';, or the bus takes us to our new school yeah yeah yeah. I think I would like something like that more than the traditional pre-school graduation as that would get us excited about moving on to the next chapter which can be tough for little kids. Keep it up beat, fun , and light. Sounds like you are planning a great program.As a parent, what would you like to see at a preschool graduation?

that sounds great


but make sure every child is represented equally


hey if you can afford it or have a dvd burner make a dvd of the ceremony for all the parents





my kindergarten teacher forgot me in the slideshow he did


and told my mom it was because i was so tiny he didnt notice me


but this was the same teacher that wanted to hold me back because of my size
My daughters preschool gave out an award to each child that fit their personality. She is obsessed with Super Hero's and wears shirts of them a lot. So she got the Super Hero award, it was so cute and fun to see what each child received that fit their personality. They also had each of them run out and hand a carnation to their moms which melted my heart.
That sounds just like my kids playschool grad. The teacher made little grad caps for them to wear as well.





My kids are now 14, 11 %26amp; 10 and we still have those hats up in their memory boxes. I love them!
Oh, that sounds like it's going to be a great celebration!





My daughter's preschool graduation was basically just what you're describing and it was indeed a very special day for all of us.





I wouldn't do much more - No reason to go overboard (Despite the pressure you may be getting from overbearing parents).
im afraid i cant top that, that sounds brilliant! im sure if i was a parent id like to see that =D maybe as well just a few sweets ';for the road'; ;)
