Where do I even start with preparations? Any tips? The teachers will handle the celebration, and the…

If you're planning an event away from home, book your spot now.

We had booked a room at the kids' center and it was already confirmed for October. The teachers called me to tell me who to congratulate and what was needed. I made an album, organized everything, and bought gifts for the kids. But that was later. I bought them in April

You need to decide where you'll celebrate and if you want a graduation album, what you'll give to the kids and teachers, and the nanny. Some people also give gifts to the principal, nurse, and others. Our kindergarten has an awesome tradition – the graduates also give a gift to the kindergarten itself 😁. It's usually something like a printer, a bench, a sandbox, etc. If you want an album, you need to find a photographer and start doing photoshoots gradually now. We definitely booked the cafe not in the fall, but around February. They had an event at the kids' cafe with animators and so on. The party's theme was also definitely decided by December; ours had a white/beige/gold color scheme. The teachers offered several options to choose from. Some of the decor was at the kindergarten, and some we bought ourselves. The kids were also dressed in clothes matching this color scheme.

IDK. I have a graduate too, and I don't know who to go to. We have two graduating from the group

The teacher convinced us to have a party for the kids outside of kindergarten (in addition to the holiday matinee).
Supposedly, the matinee would be really lame.
We went to Kidzania (a city of professions). Yes, the kids liked it. But honestly, it all felt a bit much. The kids were already overstimulated and tired.
And at the kindergarten, there was a very heartfelt matinee, followed by tea and every child got a gift and a photo album. Everyone got balloons.
Now that was a good, real celebration at the kindergarten.

The kindergarten party is in the future, but we need to plan now.

Olga Dudkina It seems like there's a party at the kindergarten, with an entertainer and treats there too. There's nowhere to take the kids in our tiny town.

Yuliya There's a party at the kindergarten, and we don't even have anything to wear to it!

Irina There will be a morning party at kindergarten, then if parents agree, an entertainer will come, and a sweet table. Nowhere to take the kids

Nina What gifts did you get for your kids?

One of our moms is handling it. We've already had the first photoshoot. There will also be a video about the baby

We had a morning party, then went on a quest. They didn't allow us to have a tea party at the kindergarten.
Start looking for a venue, a photographer, and make reservations.
Look for gifts. We found a gift for the kids in September, but the parents didn't want to chip in 500 rubles back then. In the end, in April, we ended up chipping in 700 rubles for the exact same gift. 😅

Ekaterina Pospelova And what's the gift?

We already booked a quest for May, there were few spots left. We made it in time. We also did and paid for a photoshoot for the album, spots for May are going fast too!
