Gifts for employees
Kindergarten graduation (organization plan) is developed taking into account employee gifts. Parents should consider gifts for educators. This could be gift certificates, jewelry, household appliances, or a set of bed linen.
The gift for the kindergarten is presented to the head or representative of the administration of the preschool institution. A printer or a telephone, a computer or a TV, a carpet or a wall panel, toys or curtains - such gifts are made at the discretion of the parents. In some cases, you can limit yourself to a personal gift from the manager.
Kindergarten employees (teacher, assistant teacher, laundresses, cooks, nurse) are given symbolic gifts. These are tea or cosmetic sets, flowers, sweets, small blankets.
All gifts are given during an official celebration, when thank-you speeches are given. If personal gifts are intended for teachers, which are best not advertised to other employees, they can be presented during the buffet.
Diplomas and gifts for children
The head and teachers give diplomas and gifts to preschoolers for graduation in kindergarten. The organization and planning of the holiday should take into account that diplomas are awarded for any achievements of a particular child in a particular area.
Gifts for graduates include backpacks, albums, markers, paints, notebooks, creativity kits, pencil cases, organizers, and interactive posters. Everything that can be useful at school is usually presented to children at their graduation celebration.
In addition to diplomas and gifts, commemorative medals, cups, and pennants are often awarded. You can come up with comic nominations for awards. By the end of the holiday, the children are tired. Therefore, it is better not to delay the part with the awards.
Guest animators
A kindergarten graduation party is not complete without invited animators. The organization of the holiday should take into account the fatigue of children. Therefore, animators are usually invited for a time after the official celebration. Parents can retire to the buffet table or start preparing it - children have fun with the animators in the hall.
After games and competitions, artists invite children and parents to launch helium balloons. This nuance is discussed with the animators separately. The guys take one ball each and go outside. They make wishes and launch their balloons into the sky. After this, the children are invited to a sweet table.
Festive treat
The festive table suggests graduation in kindergarten. The organization and planning of it are decided by the parents. The most common option is to return to the group after the holiday and set the buffet table there.
Another option is for everyone to go on a picnic. Outdoor games, communication between parents - everything will contribute to a pleasant environment. But ticks and insects can ruin the most complacent mood.
You can order a banquet hall in the cafe. Discuss the menu and design in advance. It is better to invite animators for children to a cafe. While parents communicate, children will be busy with games and competitions. Magicians, bubble shows, clowns - everything here depends on the financial capabilities of the parents.

High school graduation! How much of this word…. So, our children have grown up, and the next stage is ahead - school! A great way to help your child realize the significance of this event and prepare for the upcoming changes is to organize a celebration or graduation.Organizing a graduation ceremony is not an easy task, so in this article we tried to highlight the main nuances.
Where to begin?
First of all, you need to decide what you would like your graduation to look like. In a good way, graduation should be discussed at the beginning of the year, so that later there is no rush and confusion with the organization. So, what questions do we bring to the parent meeting?
1. Budget for the event. The main cost items for organizing a graduation party. Here you need to decide where the entertainment part of the graduation will take place (and whether there will be one at all), whether there will be animators, photos, video shooting, etc.
2. What amounts are you willing to allocate for gifts. To ensure that the discussion of the cost of gifts is not divorced from reality, it is advisable to already have several options for graduation gifts to bring them up for consideration. Consider half the job done if at the meeting you manage to choose gifts for children, teachers and kindergarten.
3. Creation of a graduation preparation committee. Ideally, it should consist of parents who are not members of the parent committee. After all, no one canceled the school year for the preparatory group, and the parent committee still has its annual workload as usual.
4. Distribution of responsibilities between members of the graduation preparation committee and appointment of those responsible for:
1.1. Purchasing gifts for children, kindergarten staff and the kindergarten itself. Check whether junior groups will participate in your celebration (kids (1st or 2nd junior group) are often invited to perform at graduation) - if so, then don’t forget to buy small gifts for them too.
1.2. Decoration of the group and music hall. Photo and video shooting.
1.3. Treats, cake, animator, cafe rental - depending on what format of the event you choose.
1.4. Purchasing or designing in a graphic editor (if you have craftsmen) personalized letters of gratitude (certificates, diplomas) to kindergarten staff. This item is not mandatory, but everyone will be very pleased and memorable.
1.5. Design of a photo album/photo tablet/photo book for presentation to each child at graduation - optional.
1.6. Order personalized award paraphernalia - medals, graduate ribbons or diplomas. The item is also at your discretion, but is popular.
Let's look at some issues in more detail.
WHERE WILL THE ENTERTAINMENT PART OF THE PROM TAKE PLACE? AND IS IT WORTH CARRYING OUT IT AT ALL?
Usually the ceremonial part is prepared by teachers and a music worker. And then you can spend the entertaining part of the holiday. Although our children have matured, they still get tired very quickly and, perhaps, giving up noisy fun would be more correct. You can set a sweet table in a group - juices, cakes, fruits. Where the kids will have some food and chat a little more. Meanwhile, parents will take a walk outside and prepare to launch balloons into the sky. If you still decide to have fun to the fullest, then parents should remember that this is, first of all, a HOLIDAY FOR CHILDREN! You shouldn’t throw a banquet for adults with folk festivities; you can get by with a buffet table. And if you really want to, and there are good relationships between the parents in the group, then you can get together later with an adult group. So, what can you come up with for the entertaining part of the holiday?
By agreement with the garden administration, you can stay in the garden, but recently, many gardens have banned the entry of outsiders (animators), as well as the organization of banquets. As an option, you can order a cafe and invite animators there. You can come up with an unusual graduation celebration:
1) in a picnic format (weather permitting), 2) in a museum (today, many museums offer entertainment programs for children, in accordance with their age, and if the group is large, then all parents will not bear such large expenses ); 3) at the zoo; 4) you can take your children to a theater or circus performance; 5) in a fitness club or at a climbing wall!
There are a lot of options: from budget to luxury - it’s up to you. The main thing is to take a good mood with you and give the children a holiday.
DESIGN OF THE GROUP AND MUSIC HALL
You can decorate the group yourself, or you can invite a special company (fortunately, there are plenty of them on the market now) - it all depends on your desire. By the way, from some companies you can rent a helium cylinder and inflate the balloons and decorate the hall with them yourself.
You can make wall newspapers in advance with photographs of your children taken in different years of study, or use Photoshop and use your imagination to your heart's content - both children and adults will be interested in looking at them. Ask the children to cut out flowers from paper, make garlands and flags. By the way, adults themselves can also make a couple of crafts without remaining on the sidelines. If parents have the opportunity, then you can not limit yourself to decorating the group and the hall, but also decorate the front entrance of the kindergarten building.
GIFTS FOR CHILDREN
As a rule, gifts for children for kindergarten graduation can be divided into several categories:
1) School-oriented gifts (first grade kits, encyclopedias, globes, clocks, alarm clocks, etc.), or 2) Creative gifts (interesting construction sets, etc.) or 3) Gifts not related to school and learning and giving the opportunity to play more before school (toys).
HERE you can see options for the most popular graduation gifts for children in the preparatory group.
If at the beginning of the year it is difficult to choose a specific gift, then try to at least decide on the category of the gift. Please note that children often receive several gifts for graduation. Let's say a photo tablet, a medal and the main gift.
PHOTO TABLET
Nowadays it is very popular to give photo books or photo tablets to children at graduation, on the spreads of which you can see photographs of each person in the group, as well as read a funny short description of them. All this can be ordered at a photo workshop, where you can choose the format and design of a photo tablet or photo book. Now some photo studios, when making such a photo album, even offer several photo sessions at different times to get more interesting photos. Or you can do it differently: buy photo albums yourself and fill them out throughout the year: come to kindergarten to photograph children - on a walk, in class (of course, with the permission of teachers and management and without interfering with the educational process), take notes, you can let them fill out to his teachers and children - whoever draws something, who can already write. In this case, the albums turn out to be personal and very touching. Such gifts remain for life and, as the child grows up, he understands how much love and care his parents put into such decoration.
GIFTS FOR TEACHERS AND KINDERGARTEN STAFF
If everything is more or less clear with gifts for children, then with the kindergarten staff it is a little more complicated. First of all, you need to clarify who exactly you will congratulate, because, by and large, all the kindergarten workers took part in the lives of your children: teachers, nanny, physical education teacher, music worker, psychologist, speech therapist, swimming coach, workers kitchens, senior teacher, manager, accountant, janitor, security... Discuss the list of recipients in advance and agree with all parents.
You can invite all the staff you want to congratulate to the graduation and give them invitations in advance that you can make and print yourself. You can give everyone a letter of gratitude or a certificate (forms can be bought and signed or downloaded from the Internet and modified by yourself, or you can make exclusive certificates in a graphic editor yourself).
As for gift options for educators, this directly depends on your financial capabilities. Specify in advance the amount you are willing to spend on gifts for kindergarten employees. Of course, parents usually don’t give expensive gifts to everyone, for example, a nurse, a kitchen worker, an accountant can be given symbolic gifts - a certificate, flowers, sweets (we include imagination), but teachers and nannies can be given more expensive ones. Possible gift options for educators include certificates for stores selling cosmetics, dishes, chocolate, coffee, tea... or anywhere. You can also give them tickets to the theater for an open date - good emotions and an unconventional approach will be remembered for a long time!
GIFT FOR KINDERGARTEN
Whether or not to give something to the kindergarten itself is at your discretion. What can you give? Again, it depends on how much you are willing to spend. Some give a computer, a coffee machine or an air washer, and some may give a set of beautiful photo frames to decorate the foyer of a kindergarten or a nice flower in a beautiful pot, such as a palm tree. It will not only decorate the hall, but will also purify the air in the kindergarten.
An excellent gift could be a garden figurine (one or several) or seedlings of trees or shrubs, which the graduates themselves and their parents can plant on the same day.
Remember that if you give a gift from the heart, it doesn’t matter how much it costs: 1 thousand rubles or 20.
WHEN AND HOW TO GIVE GIFTS?
It is better to plan congratulations for children together with the teacher and music worker; they have a lot of experience and will tell you when and how to do it. So that the moment of giving is remembered and does not distract from the celebration. Congratulating the kindergarten workers - the most successful option, after the children's party, is for two representatives of the parents to come out and solemnly read out congratulations (possibly in verse and with humor) to each invited kindergarten worker. But don’t drag out this part too much, because the children may get tired. It is also worth rehearsing your speech in advance (or at least reading it several times), reading it with expression and a well-trained voice, so that it does not look crumpled and tiring.
PHOTO AND VIDEO SHOOTING AT GRADUATION
Finding a good and inexpensive cameraman and photographer is not an easy task, especially since graduation is taking place in all the kindergartens and many photographers are busy. But perhaps there are people in your group who can do this themselves or recommend familiar professionals. As a tip, you can film video not only on the day of the holiday, but also on days of regular visits to the garden - a walk, a lesson, music, physical education (anytime), and on the day of the holiday you can also film the preparation for the celebration - during editing you get a rather interesting film. Don’t delay your search for a photographer and cameraman. Some enterprising parents begin to worry about this in the fall.
To summarize, we can say: if parents act together and in the interests of their children, then preparing for graduation will not seem overwhelming and tiring, and the holiday itself will be fun and memorable for a long time!
Holiday scenario
Children learn poems, farewell songs, and dances for graduation celebrations in kindergarten. The script is worked out to the smallest detail. It consists of 4 parts.
First part. The ceremonial entrance of children into the hall, reading poetry, singing songs, dancing.
Second part. Costume performance - a synthesis of fairy tales from children's numbers, skits with the participation of adult characters, funny competitions for children and their parents.
The third part. It accounts for the golden ratio, the culmination of the holiday - the most touching and sad moments. Children read poems of gratitude to the kindergarten staff, perform a farewell song, and a final dance.
Fourth part. Presentation of diplomas and gifts to children. Parting speech by the kindergarten administration. Response speech from parents, presentation of gifts to preschool employees.
It has become a good tradition to perform at the graduation of children (I or II junior group). They come at the end of part 1 of the holiday, read poetry, dance or sing. At the end, the preparatory group teachers give them a sweet treat.
After the official celebration, children and parents are invited to a festive buffet. Parents should consider in advance whether he will be in kindergarten or should book a banquet room in a cafe.
Graduation in kindergarten: how to organize?
The graduation party in kindergarten leaves behind many joyful and touching moments. This event requires competent organization and careful preparation. We should not forget that the main purpose of the holiday is to bring pleasure to children.
Exhausting drills during preparation for an event can lead to emotional fatigue in a child. Do not tire children with long rehearsals. High spirits during the preparation of the event, availability of material (poems, skits, dances, songs) will contribute to the comfortable state of adults and children.
An interesting scenario, competitions, and gifts will make kindergarten graduation exciting and memorable. The organization and planning of the event lies entirely with the staff of the preschool institution and the parents of the preparatory group. The best option for preparing for the holiday is to create an initiative group that will deal with decoration, purchasing gifts and flowers, developing a script, and inviting animators.
The kindergarten will partially cover the costs of graduation. This includes decoration of the hall, groups, diplomas and medals for children, pies for the sweet table, preparation of the official part of the event. All financial issues are discussed with teachers and the administration of the preschool institution, and then brought to the parents’ meeting.
