Teachers should start planning well in advance for a preschool graduation. Right from the beginning of the term, they should be involved in taking photographs of the kids in action - during field trips, when they are playing, coloring, or working on some project. These photographs help in a big way during the planning of the graduation ceremony. Teachers can use all these photographs in a slide show or a presentation. To start with, the class teachers should sent out invitations to the parents for the graduation ceremony. They should also talk to a few of the parents that are willing to help out for this event. The classrooms can be brightened up with decorations like banners, streamers, posters, and craft items that the preschoolers have created during the year that they spent at the preschool. Graduation hats and gowns are very important during the main ceremony. The teachers or parents can take the initiative to order these beforehand. They could have the child's name printed on each of them, with the date and year of their graduation. They can probably do this at the back of the gown or on the rim of the hat. Another thing the teachers could do, if they have enough time to prepare, is to write goodbye cards for the little ones and get them laminated, so that the cards could serve as a remembrance of their preschool days and they fondly remember their teachers too. Also, a week or so before the graduation ceremony, the teachers can conduct a series of 'mock graduations', so that the children get enough practice for the main day. They could practice handshakes for the time when they are receiving their certificates, so as to avoid confusion during the actual ceremony.

It is every parent's dream to see their son or daughter graduate. Well, preschool graduations, even though small, still have a huge impact on the parents as well as the children. It is a transition phase for the children, where they move on from being toddlers to school-going kids. The children should be made to line up like in college graduations, in the order of their names. When their names are called out, they should go up on stage and collect their certificates from the head of the preschool. While doing this, a photographer should take photographs of the children shaking hands with the head of the preschool while getting their certificates. This would give the toddlers a sense of importance and achievement. The institution could also have a small award ceremony to give out small mementos to students for things like best participation in a play, musical performance, cleanliness, obedience, friendliness, and the like, so that the children feel special.

Like after every school-related ceremony, there is a photo session, in the same way, even after a preschool graduation, a photo session is a must. All the children would love to strike a pose for the camera with their certificates, in their smart "tassels and gowns". A class photograph is always a good keepsake that the children, parents, as well as the teachers will treasure throughout their lives. To prolong the celebrations, the teachers and parents can arrange for a few games like alphabet charades, musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, word games, dancing, and much more. They can conclude this playtime by having the kids sing songs or recite poems. The children can make a small performance of maybe one or two songs in front of the parents. A small presentation of the preschool year could be arranged for the parents and kids. While making this PPT, the teachers should include photographs of all the children, but still keep it small and interesting. The children can be shown in groups playing games, coloring or drawing. No celebration is complete without food and beverages. Parents could help out by getting the graduation cake and arranging for the snacks or beverages. The school could also arrange for a caterer to supply sandwiches or pizzas, along with cup cakes, muffins or brownies. Beverages like milk or juice could be provided to the children. The kids would love this, and they would have a blast. Another idea is giving small gifts to the children at the end of the party. The little ones would treasure a small gift the school gives them. Fill a favor bag with gift items such as crayon sets, key chains, soft toys, coloring books, rulers, pencils, and so on. Ask the students to close their eyes and pick one gift from the favor bag.
