The Number of Toddler Graduations Is On The Rise in Australia
Graduation is a special time, no matter what age the graduate is. It is a time to celebrate achievements and look forward to the future ahead. And while some would argue that 4 year olds don’t need to graduate from pre-school, most will disagree and believe that children should get the opportunity to get dressed up and celebrate their achievements with their little friends and family members before moving onto the next stage of their academic life.
The number of toddler graduations is most certainly on the rise in Australia and there are lots of reasons why. Let’s uncover some of them;
Why is it good for toddlers to graduate?
A graduation is a wonderful experience for a toddler. They can enjoy being the centre of attention for the day and get a feel for what it’s like to get rewarded for hard work.
A graduation ceremony is also a good way to demonstrate to toddlers that they are moving on to kindergarten or school, giving them a sense of closure from what has been and a sense of excitement at what is to come. Transition is a natural part of childhood and their graduation ceremony will help to ease the change.
Graduation is a great way to build children’s confidence. As toddlers stand up in front of their loved ones to receive recognition of their achievements, they will need to have a little courage and confidence. And, as graduations are thought of as exciting, celebratory occasions, those children who are usually a little shy will be more likely to confidently step forward.
As a parent, you’ll get to witness your little one receive their certificate and trust us – it will be a very proud moment so make sure to bring a camera and some tissues with you! It’s an emotional, momentous occasion and one that the whole family should be involved in.
Even from a young age, a graduation ceremony can teach children to value their education. It demonstrates to them that education is something to be celebrated and rewards will be given when hard work is put in. Even though it is a long way into the future, it plants a seed about university education, giving children the confidence to work hard and believe in themselves.
They are also a great excuse for a small after-party with close family and friends, allowing you, as a proud parent, to show off your little one and enjoy food, drinks and party games.
If you own a nursery or pre-school, putting on a graduation ceremony, complete with the graduation outfits, can make your business stand apart from the competition. This may mean that parents choose your provision because it adds that extra special touch that all parents appreciate.
