in developed countries but in some poor countries as well. According to
statistics the education industry is growing at a 4.5% growth rate and will
reach up to $10 Trillion dollars by the year 2030.
In this article we recommend helpful practices to inspire those actively venturing
in this sector by proposing ways on how to organize a memorable graduation
ceremony at a kindergarten. This article is thus a handy read for teachers, coaches, event organizers, administrators, and potential investors.
- OFFER A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
Graduation ceremonies at kindergartens should be uniquely organized with well-defined steps to give the young learners an opportunity to divulge thoroughly into the joy of not only accomplishing the indispensable milestone but also to showcase the crucial skills and resilience they have obtained throughout their time in kindergarten.
There is no better way to show academic and social resilience other than playing a main character in a drama scene. Graduates should have the opportunity to practice and perform a drama based on a story carefully chosen by their teacher, in conjunction with the academic department.
Some handy pointers towards choosing a graduation drama will depend on the country’s belief, culture, and religion. A drama performance should be chosen from a story that is centered around children fantasy as they will be thrilled to take part in what is not only interesting but a fascinating story about something that resonate with them.
- MAKING LASTING MEMORIES
An interesting part of graduation that lead to long term meaning is when the students walk up to the graduation podium all dressed up in graduation gowns and hats. They sit with a smile of hope and bright future while waiting to receive their awards.
Decoration
This part of the ceremony should standout and considerations should be given to aspects such as flowers, color, the choice of graduation outfit, sound, and lighting effect of the graduation facility.
Making Speeches and Singing
Above all, words should play a vital role as this moment might be the last time for the graduates to have the chance to hear from their teachers and peers. Thus, farewell speeches, graduation speeches and a principal’s speech should stamp everlasting memories in their minds.
Singing is a unique aspect in kindergarten which is often considered a means of communicating love, care, joy, and hopes. It is worth encouraging graduates to present a masterpiece of a song that they learned, meanwhile the teachers could as well present a song for the graduates.
Awards
Congratulating the students should beofficial with certificates awarded by the school to testify that they have completed their course. Ideally, the principal of the kindergarten should
present the awards, however, other members of the administrative board could be charged with such duty, depending on the situation.
Inaddition to certificates, other special awards could as well be incorporated during graduation ceremonies. A good example should be awarding parents for the fundamental role in this journey and there is no better way to show appreciation than granting a special award to some exceptional parents.
Flowers and glitters
Sprinkling glitters in the air, handing bouquets of flower to students, and taking pictures as parents wave congratulations to the graduates should sum it all with the aspects of recorded memories that will be stored in school archives and student's homes for ever.
