Do four-year-olds really need a graduation ceremony?
Yes, of course they do! Graduation, no matter what age you are, is a wonderful occasion to celebrate all that has been achieved.
Pre-school graduations are becoming increasingly popular and it is not hard to see why. Children look absolutely adorable dressed up in their graduation gowns, complete with a mortarboard cap and tassel.
Finishing pre-school is a big achievement and it’s only fitting that children get to celebrate moving on to the next stage in their academic life.
More benefits to pre-school graduations
A pre-school graduation gives parents the opportunity for a picture-perfect moment with their little stars that they’ll remember forever.
Giving pre-schoolers a graduation ceremony gives them a sense of excitement about education and the opportunities it can present. Even from a young age, it shows children how important their education is and how it can bring fun rewards, such as a graduation and an after-party with their close family and friends. While further education opportunities like university may seem like a long way off, a graduation, highly synonymous with university, gets them into the right mind-set.
They are also fantastic opportunities to increase and build upon a child’s self-confidence. Even as an adult, it can be nerve-wracking standing up in front of others, but experiencing it early, in a positive way, can let children see that it is a natural part of growing up and something many of them will have to do throughout their time at school.
Transiting from pre-school to primary school can be hard for children as they go from a setting that is probably smaller with a lot of play to a setting that is usually much bigger and has more children, a lot of whom are older. A graduation can help ease the transition from pre-school to big school, showing children that it is exciting that they are moving on and there are more thrilling things to come.
Above all, it allows your pre-schooler to feel proud for all they have achieved while they have been at pre-school. They will feel loved and truly special as everyone gathers around at their graduation to celebrate them and it allows them to say a proper goodbye to their pre-school setting.
