Kindergarten Graduation Speech - Well Done To One And All

A kindergarten graduation speech marks an amazing and special milestone!

You're looking out over a sea of faces in your audience - proud mums, dads, grandparents, family and friends - and indeed they have every right to be proud.

There is something special about a kindergarten graduation ceremony - innocence retained, journeys begun and dreams waiting to be achieved.

A graduation speech needs to pay tribute to each and every child - all so special in their own way.

We hope our free sample speech will get your creative thought processes going and we have no doubt that you'll add a bit, maybe delete a bit - either way - you are going to say it just right!

Good Afternoon Ladies, Gentlemen and of course, most importantly, the girls and boys who are graduating from kindergarten today - this is indeed a very special day!

I am very aware that today is about the children and as such, my speech is largely aimed at the special young people sitting on stage today. Don't they look fantastic? I think they deserves a round of applause before we even begin! Today is all about you girls and boys. I know it is difficult to sit still for a long time - so I promise that I'll try and keep my speech as short as possible.

Stacia Tauscher said, "We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today." 

As parents and teachers we do put a lot of time and energy into preparing our children for their futures. And rightly so. We do indeed need to equip our children with life-long skills to prepare them for adulthood. It is our collective responsibility as we guide and mold the leaders of tomorrow -  for it is on them that the future will have to depend.

Today, as we pay tribute to the young ladies and gentlemen of tomorrow, we know that they have started their remarkable journey towards achieving this goal. This year has seen them grow and develop exponentially. They have learned so much. They have remained eager and enthusiastic and they have grown in so many ways. Our thanks and appreciation to all the teachers and the parents for the fantastic role that you have all played to facilitate this process.

Now, girls and boys...I need to tell you how very proud we are of you today.

You are all incredibly special people today, right now,  as you sit here in front of us. You have all worked very hard to learn more every day, you have played hard, you have made new friends and you have all tried to be a good friend too. Well done and congratulations to each and everyone of you - you can feel very proud of all you have done this year.

Our young children will move into a new year - a year with new challenges to deal with. As they move into their respective tomorrows so bright with goals already achieved and more dreams still to aspire to, we say to them...

Enjoy being four today with all your heart and soul... and worry less about preparing to be five.

Hold onto your uncanny gift of finding everything in nothing, of not only seeing seven wonders in the world - but several thousand.

"Work hard and play straight" and may you stay...in your spirit and soul...

Forever young!

In your kindergarten graduation speech pay tribute to our children - "they are the message that we send to future that we will not see" - John W. Whitehead

Words of Gratitude (Graduation & Moving Up Ceremonies)

Started 9 months ago by teachersportalph in School Events , Graduation Events

Please describe the reason with violated rule

Explore heartfelt words of gratitude for graduation. Find inspiration, sample speeches, and tips for crafting your gratitude message here.

I. understanding words of gratitude.

Words of gratitude for graduation are expressions of appreciation and thanks delivered during a graduation ceremony. These messages can be a part of a speech delivered by a student representative or can be written in a graduation card or letter. The purpose is to recognize the support, guidance, and contributions of individuals such as teachers, parents, friends, and others who have played a crucial role in the students' journey to this significant milestone.

II. Crafting Words of Gratitude

Writing words of gratitude for a graduation involves acknowledging the support, encouragement, and love provided by those around you during your academic journey. Here are the steps to guide you:

Address All Relevant Parties: Identify all individuals who have contributed to your journey such as teachers, parents, friends, administrative staff, and fellow classmates.

Mention Special Contributions: Highlight the special or outstanding support you received from individuals, such as a teacher who went the extra mile, a friend who was there during tough times, or your parents for their unwavering support.

Recall Important Experiences: Share memorable or impactful experiences. These could be a challenging assignment, a class project, or any other significant memory that will resonate with your audience.

Show Genuine Gratitude: Express your heartfelt gratitude. Speak from the heart to let those you are thanking know how much their support and encouragement meant to you.

Keep It Simple and Direct: Your message does not need to be complex. A clear, sincere message is often appreciated more.

Wish Everyone Well: Conclude by wishing everyone well in their future endeavors.

III. Sample Words of Gratitude for Graduation

Honored Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. ________, and her representative, Education Program Specialist 1-A, Division Mathematics Supervisor ________; Alumna Speaker, ________.; District-in-charge, ________; School Heads of Prosperidad IV; our Brgy. Council, led by Barangay Captain, ________; School Head, Mrs. ________; GPTA President, ________; dedicated teachers, supportive parents, my fellow graduates, and all distinguished guests - good afternoon.

Actor Ed Helms once said, "Do not be afraid of fear because it sharpens you, it challenges you, it makes you stronger." This quote has stuck with me since my first day at ________ National High School. At first, it was tough. Some people didn't believe in me. But I worked hard, achieved a lot, and turned these challenges into motivation.

When I entered Senior High School, my responsibilities grew. My mom works overseas to support us, so as the eldest child, I had to care for my siblings. This forced me to mature quickly. I became both a caregiver and a student, struggling to balance school work and home duties. But these experiences made me independent and goal-oriented, and surprisingly, brought me here to speak on our graduation day.

Firstly, I want to thank God, the source of all our accomplishments. We wouldn't be here without His guidance.

To my parents, a simple thank you doesn't express my deep gratitude. Your unwavering support has been invaluable. I also want to thank my loving grandma, who has been like a second mother to me.

To the teachers of ________ National High School, thank you for your tireless support and for sharing your knowledge with us. We are proud to be your students.

To my classmates, your daily support meant a lot to me. I will always cherish the moments we shared, through good times and bad.

And lastly, to my closest friends, thank you for your advice, for listening when times were tough, and for being there when I needed you most. I apologize if I was sometimes immature.

Thank you, and congratulations to the Class of 2023!

IV. Delivering Your Words of Gratitude

Delivering words of gratitude can be a powerful way to express your appreciation. Here are some tips to make your delivery effective:

Be Authentic: Speak from the heart to make your message truly powerful.

Personalize Your Message: Share specific examples of how the person or people you're thanking have helped you to make your message more impactful.

Practice: Practice your speech multiple times to become familiar with it and deliver it with confidence.

Keep It Brief: A concise, focused speech is often more powerful than a long one.

Use Eye Contact: Engage your listeners by making eye contact during your delivery.

Use a Warm, Grateful Tone: The tone of your speech is as important as your words. Convey your sincere gratitude by speaking in a warm, heartfelt tone.

Stay Calm and Composed: Even though it's natural to feel nervous, try to stay calm and focused on your message.

End on a Positive Note: Conclude your speech with a positive and uplifting message.

V. Share Your Words of Gratitude

To all our readers, if you have your own words of gratitude, we invite you to share them in the comments section below. Your unique expressions of thanks can inspire others and help someone else articulate their feelings. Whether they're words for a graduation, a family gathering, or a quiet moment of thanks, we invite you to share them. Your insights and experiences are valuable, and by sharing them, you might help someone else find the right words to express their gratitude.

Preschool Graduation Speech Ideas

It's the moment many teachers dread: Coming up with a preschool graduation speech .... (queue in horror film music here).  

Fears of being unprepared and stammering fill our heads, anxiety may set in and many think,

"I am NOT a public speaker!  I HATE public speaking!  I am a preschool teacher!  I LOVE teaching preschool!"

Take a breath.... really!  Remember your 'Why'...why you are planning preschool graduation ideas in the first place:  It is to celebrate the children and their year!  

Giving a preschool graduation speech is also an opportunity to publicly thank your families for sharing and entrusting their child(ren) with you.  

In addition, it is an opportunity to thank staff such as the director, co-teachers, support staff and volunteers.

As you are thinking of what to say, who to acknowledge and how long to take remember this one, important factor: This is not a keynote speech for college! Let's say it again:  It is a preschool graduation speech!

This is preschool!  Yes, your students may be going off to kindergarten or moving up to Prek, but, it is still preschool!   BE YOURSELF !  

That, after all, is why parents entrusted the children in your program's care to begin with!

Don't put pressure on yourself to be "formal"...instead.... put pressure on yourself to be "you"!  Or, in the words of Dr. Seuss:

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

There....feel better?  This is a fun day and your preschool graduation speech ideas should keep that fact in mind! :)

Well, one more fact to keep in mind.  Because this is Preschool Graduation, that means the preschoolers are sitting there......waiting.......excited......nervous......poking their friend beside them!

And, they are.... brace yourself.... I KNOW you've worked all year on this.......but......get ready........

They are NOT LISTENING TO YOU when you give your speech!

Phew, there, I've said it!  So, this speech is not for them--even if you address the children in this preschool graduation speech (And no, I don't mean saying something like "And this year we have ALL learned to LISTEN WHEN SOMEONE ELSE IS TALKING, haven't we Cheryl?")

What I mean is that while you are presenting your speech they sometimes hear.... well, here is my point when it comes to preschoolers and speeches:

You KNOW that is what they are hearing!  When you are giving your preschool graduation speech, be sure to have 1 or 2 adults sitting with the children to redirect them during this time!  That's all I'm saying!  

There are many types of preschool graduation speeches.  You might give an actual speech, read a story or show a DVD of the children!  

As I said earlier, remember to just be you!  

Here are a few ideas for speeches.  

Feel free to use these and modify as you need to for your own program!    

A "Welcoming" Preschool Graduation Speech Idea

Preschool graduation speech idea #1 traditional speech.

written by me, Miss Cheryl, at Preschool Plan It

This is the typical speech or welcoming speech I give.  It includes a thank you and accolades to staff and introduces the stars:  The Preschoolers!

"Hi everyone!  Thank you so much for coming!  We are SO excited about today, aren't we boys and girls??!!!

Today is a very special day.  Today we celebrate YOUR children's life and times in preschool!  

It's hard for many of you to believe that the time has come for child or children.... your babies, are beginning kindergarten isn't it?

When your children first started preschool-there was much separation anxiety.  The beginning of a new school year is like that for children...and for parents!  

The beginning of the school year was a time of building trust with the children......and with you.  It was a time of building relationships together and creating a team with one shared goal:  Providing your children with what they needed to develop and grow as preschoolers.

That trust was built, relationships and teams create.  We moved through the year--as a team--growing and learning and building a foundation your children will bring with them to Kindergarten.

And now, it is very hard for US to believe your children are leaving us!  You have entrusted the most important thing in your lives to us--your child.  We can't tell you how much we appreciate that trust!  

We thank you for sharing your children with us.  We thank you for allowing us to be part of your family during this time.

And now, it is the end of the year.  It is time for your children to move on and, Guess what?  It is us.... the teachers...who have separation anxiety.  We will miss your children more than you know.  But, we smile through the goodbye tears because we are so grateful to have been part of their lives and your family during this time.

And, I want to thank the teachers today.  Thank you for your dedication to the children and their families. Thank you for your thoughtful planning and time invested in the lives of each and every one of these children! There was a poem written by Forest Witcraft that talks about teachers and it definitely applies to the teachers, support staff and volunteers here today:

One hundred years from now

It won't matter

What kind of car I drove

What kind of house I lived in

How much money I had in the bank

Nor what my cloths looked like

The world may be a little better

Because, I was important

In the life of a child.

And you were.  You were important to each and every one of these children.  Thank you.

And now, the children are very excited to get this party started, right?  Okay, let's hand over the program to the children!"

Here is when your children  might sing their songs or do their play they have been practicing!

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #2 Laugh and Be All You Can Be

Here is another you can use and modify to meet your program's needs.  It is from StudyMode  

"We are here today for "ABC Preschool's Graduation Ceremony. This is a momentous occasion in the lives of all the children. 

It is also a time to recognize the outstanding work of the staff here and the parents of the students.

Just looking around, the happy smiling faces says so much about the environment here at ABC Preschool. Our children have learned so much. The school places great value on community, learning and fun.

I am proud of the way the children love coming here to school and look forward to what they learn. Seeing the big smiles on their faces in the morning is fantastic. They have learned to love learning and that skill will help them so much as they progress with their education.

Life is not just about learning to read and write. They are important, but just as important is love and friendship. 

This school places great emphasis on being part of the community. This is a lifelong skill which will help all of us flourish. 

It may seem slightly old-fashioned, but a sense of community to me is very important to the future of our nation and our children.

So, thank you to the other teachers here, the love you have for the children shines through in their results. Thank you to all the parents who have willingly given their time volunteering here, and who have raised such wonderful children!

Looking ahead, our children are very well-equipped to take on the next part of their educational lives. They have strong foundations and we feel very confident that we have given the children a great start in life. They have learned many priceless lessons. 

So, children: Take on challenges, be loving, love learning, be part of the community, laugh and be all you can be. 

Thank you."

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #3: We Give You Child Back Now

This preschool graduation speech is called We Give Your Child Back Now (author unknown)

Dear Parents,

We give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to our care last fall. We give him back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature then he was then.

Although she would have attained her growth despite us, it has been our pleasure and privilege to watch her personality unfold day by day and marvel at this splendid miracle of development.

I give him back reluctantly, for having spent nine months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of each other.

We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. I wish it could go on indefinitely, but give him back we must. Take care of him, for he is precious.

Remember that we shall always be interested in your child and his destiny, wherever he goes, whatever he does, whoever he becomes. His joys and sorrows we will always be happy to share.

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #4: Read a Story INSTEAD of A Preschool Graduation Speech!

Yes!  Have the children gather on the floor in front of you, like a final Circle Time or Story Time!  Wear a microphone so the families can hear it as well.

A perennial favorite, Dr. Seuss’s wonderfully wise graduation speech is the perfect send-off for children starting out in the world, be they nursery school, high school, or college grads!

From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights to being left in a Lurch on a prickle-ly perch, Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with his trademark humorous verse and illustrations, while encouraging readers to find the success that lies within.

In a starred review, Booklist notes: “Seuss’s message is simple but never sappy: life may be a ‘Great Balancing Act,’ but through it all ‘There’s fun to be done.’”

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #5: Growing Up

For a few weeks before graduation, talk with your preschoolers about one of their favorite things or memories about preschool!  Write them down.

Examples:  

• Cheryl remembers the day we brought snow inside to play with.
• Joey remembers being Superman with John and how they saved the dolls from the bad guy.
• Give each youngster an opportunity to share one fond memory of this school year and one hope for the coming year. Be sure to write down one of your own as well!

Preschool Graduation Speech #6: Moving On

Here's another story instead of a speech idea!  Again, w ear a microphone so the families can hear it as well.

In this adorable story, the young crab is growing up.  It outgrows its home (shell) and moves into another one.  After reading the story, tell the children and families, the children have much in common with the crab:

They are also growing up!  They are moving on.... into a new phase of school--kindergarten (or Prek), though we will remember the fun we had in preschool!

At this point, use the information you gathered over the past few weeks about each child's favorite memory of preschool!  Have each child stand up and share their favorite memory or you can share it for them!

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #7: Our Year in Review: A DVD Viewing

In lieu of a long preschool graduation speech, show a DVD montauge of the children's year.

This was a hit every single year!  It was started by my mentor, Miss Peggy and I continued the tradition!

Give a short speech, thanking the parents and staff and then show the DVD in lieu of your speech!

Say something like:

"Welcome to your children's preschool graduation ceremony!  We thank you so much for sharing your children with us and entrusting them to us.  They have learned and grown so much during this time!

The children have a few surprises for you!  They want to ___________ (sing a few songs, fingerplays, act out a play---fill in the blank for your program details).  But first, we have a surprise for you!

Rather than tell you what your children have done all year, we want to show you and reminisce with you! Enjoy!"

Invite the children to come sit down near the front so they can see also!

Play the DVD!

Creating the DVD in lieu of a preschool graduation speech for the above idea:

This takes some time but is WORTH it!  If you begin saving digital pictures of the children at the beginning of the year, the process is quicker!  If you are putting it together later in the year, it will just take more time to go through your photos!

Here are the steps.  (numbered)

1. Choose 1 photo of each child where JUST THAT CHILD is in the photo.  Use your software (I use Microsoft Paint or PowerPoint) to place their first name on the photo.

2. Choose 4-5 more pictures of EACH child.  Have 3-4 of these photos showing the child participating in a small or large group activity.  Have 1-2 more individual photos of that child (perhaps of them reading a book, painting, playing outside, etc.).

3. Upload the photos into a DVD maker program.  There is probably one on your computer that you didn't even know about! ;)  I use Windows Live Movie Maker.

4. Be sure the individual children's photos are the first ones in the program!

5. Create an introduction frame in the program such as "ABC Preschool Class of 20XX".

6. Choose 2 songs to play as background and upload them.

We have used 1 song that is sure to make the parents weep.... yes, that IS our goal! And one song that was a favorite in the classroom this year.

Children and adults alike laugh and giggle and LOVE this DVD.

If you are able, make copies for each family as a gift!  

I recently had two different parents message me on the Preschool Plan It Facebook page  (be sure to head over and like that page, by the way!), to tell me they just watched their preschool DVD and were thinking of us (and these children graduated preschool 5 years ago)!

Preschool Graduation Speech Idea #8: Speeches from the Preschoolers!

Preschool Graduation Speeches by...... The Preschoolers?  Why not?!

I have heard of some programs scheduling time for speeches from their preschoolers.  This can be difficult it is a huge, public "TELL" portion of a Show and Tell.  It can be nerve-wracking for them.  But, it can also be fun if brief and a fun question!

You just never know what they will say!  Once idea would be to ask the children what they want to be when they grow up!  Don't wait until graduation day to spring this question on them!  Give them time to think about it.  Ask it a few times in the weeks before graduation.

Here is an example of one that was found on YouTube (not my program) that I think is so adorable!

Ending Your Preschool Graduation Speech

At the end of the program you might give another, VERY BRIEF, closing speech.  Keep it more like an announcement at this point!  The children are excited and want to be with their families now!

"This concludes our Preschool Graduation Ceremony!  Please, please join us for refreshments and hugs in the _________ (list the place).  Thank you again for sharing your children with us!

I hope you enjoyed these preschool graduation speech ideas and they have helped you get started on your decision for preschool graduation day!  Do you have one or more speech or speech related idea you'd like to share?

How to Write a Kindergarten Graduation Speech

Kindergarten graduation is an emotional milestone that brings smiles and tears to doting family members who can’t believe this special year is already over. Some schools recognize the significance of the event with pomp and circumstance that may include speeches, music, graduation apparel, certificates and a graduation cake shaped like a school bus. Delivering a graduation speech that will captivate students and adults alike is a formidable challenge. Consider giving a multimedia presentation instead of a memorized speech because kindergartners get bored quickly, as parents and teachers well know.

• Prepare Opening Remarks
• Share Highlights of the Year
• Express Gratitude

1 Plan Ahead

The best time to start writing a kindergarten graduation speech is the first day of school. Keep a journal noting impressive accomplishments during the year, such as the giant purple dinosaur a student constructed using balloons and papier mache. Obtain permission from parents to take occasional photos for viewing at the graduation ceremony. Photos and videos can reinforce the tremendous learning that you describe in your speech. Write a draft of your speech at least one week before graduation, so you’ll have time to revise and rehearse it.

2 Prepare Opening Remarks

Write a friendly welcome to students, parents, siblings, grandparents, family friends and fellow teachers in attendance. Encourage distinguished guests to stand and be recognized, such as the principal, superintendent or school board members. Explain why graduation ceremonies are important rituals at any age. Ask the children to stand. Invite the audience to applaud the graduates for their determination and success.

3 Share Highlights of the Year

Reference notable events of the year, such as a field trip to the fire station and the school play. Stress impressive facts, such as low absenteeism, strong class participation and success in meeting state standards that measure learning through the curriculum. Mention each child by name along with a special accomplishment or good deed. Show a power point slide or iMovie while talking, or ask children to stand when their name and achievements are mentioned.

4 Express Gratitude

Thank the parents, caregivers and family members for playing a key role in the learning process. Explain that parental involvement and high expectations correlate with student achievement. Note that the school views families and caretakers as influential partners in educating children and preparing them for a bright future. Encourage adults present to read to their children over the summer to keep skills fresh for the challenges of first grade.

Express your confidence that the graduating class has tremendous potential, and wish them well in their journey. End with a favorite inspirational quote, such as “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” by Dr. Seuss. Thank everyone for coming and encourage everyone to enjoy cookies and punch if there’s a reception.

Inspiring Kindergarten Graduation Quotes

• Topics : Inspiring Teachers Classroom Ideas

Use our list of kindergarten graduation quotes to inspire your little graduate. Print them to hang around the class, or craft them as a graduation card.

Kindergarten graduation  is significant, memorable, meaningful, and monumental for a student, parent, and teacher. When planning for your  kindergarten graduation , consider some creative and sentimental quotes that will help inspire and congratulate graduating students. Whether you hang these quotes around your classroom or auditorium, craft them as a graduation gift, or use them as a thank you or farewell card, one thing’s for sure: both the child and parent will appreciate your kind and meaningful gesture.

If you’re unsure of some celebratory kindergarten graduation quotes designed especially for kindergarteners, check these out!

15 inspiring kindergarten graduation quotes

While there are several meaningful, special kindergarten graduation quotes that can be applied to this special time, these quotes make the best quotes to be used in a kindergarten graduation ceremony!

1. “You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting - so get on your way!” - Dr. Seuss

Who knows more about kindergarteners than  Dr Seuss  himself? This zany author’s beloved phrases will resonate with little ones and parents alike! It can be applied to their graduation day, all the way throughout high school. Dr Seuss is like the Albert Einstein of graduation sayings: constantly popping up on grad posters and cards on graduation day for all learners alike, Dr Seuss is like the Albert Einstein of graduation sayings!

2. “The more you learn, the more places you will go!” - Dr. Seuss

Another classic quote from Dr Seuss, there’s no truer statement, and it can become a kindergarteners mantra. Because Dr Seuss’ quotes are so popular with teachers and families around graduation time, giving the gift of Oh, the Places You Will Go is a celebrated tradition! Have your child’s teacher sign it from one school year to another and give it to them on graduation day. They will love reading all the graduation messages from one year to another.

3. "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss

This Dr Suess quote is encouraging and empowering, reminding the young graduates that they have the ability and the power to shape their own future. The simple, rhymed wording is also easy for kindergarteners to understand and remember, making it a lasting message they can carry with them as they advance in their education.

4. “If you can dream it, you can do it!” - Walt Disney

This quote can be applied directly to kindergarten graduation because the first day of the first year of school can and may be pretty challenging for students. It’s the first time they are away from their parents for prolonged periods, and they learn quickly that they are responsible for themselves and their behaviors-both academically and socially. Being a kindergartener sure is hard work! A sweet quote like this can wrap up their first year of school, set the tone for many more years to come, and offer them congrats on their accomplishments.

5. “I’ve learned my ABCs and 1,2,3’s; to tie my shoes and when to say please. It’s time to move on; I’ve had lots of fun!” - Anonymous

An adorable quote to paint on a large banner during the ceremony to greet parents or have a little one stand under for photo opportunities; some school districts have their children memorize and say this sweet line at the end of the ceremony before tossing their caps! While it certainly doesn’t take away from celebrating their hard work, it’s perfect for a preschool graduation when you want to say “best wishes” in a way that a little graduate will understand.

6. “Remember this day! The sense of pride and accomplishment you take from it. Use that to move toward your next big goal!” -Anonymous

A more serious quote, even the youngest learner will appreciate its tone and context. It’s a perfect phrase to type on the Kindergarten or preschool graduation program handed out to parents as they walk in, making it an ideal keepsake! If you are looking for kindergarten quotes that are on the more solemn side, consider checking out some famous phrases crafted by Nora Ephron, J.M. Barrie, John Maxwell, and even Theodore Roosevelt or Oprah Winfrey!

7. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

This Eleanor Roosevelt quote is ideal for a kindergarten graduation as it promotes optimism, ambition, and hope. Kindergarten graduation is the first big step in a child's educational journey. This quote inspires young learners to believe in their dreams and to understand that they have the power to shape their future. It encourages them to dream big and to know that these dreams can guide their path in the future.

8. "You always pass failure on the way to success." - Mickey Rooney

Mickey Rooney’s quote is excellent for a kindergarten graduation because it imparts a valuable life lesson to the young graduates. It teaches them that failure is not an endpoint but a stepping stone towards success. This message is crucial for kids at this stage as they are just beginning their educational journey. Understanding and embracing this concept early on will help them to face challenges bravely, learn from their mistakes, and keep striving for success.

9. “Congratulations! You didn’t eat paste or crayons. Have a sticker and Happy Graduation!” -Anonymous

Setting a lighter, sillier tone, this could be a funny quote to hang in the kindergarten hallway, outside of the classrooms, to give other faculty, older students, and staff a good chuckle at the end of the year and send out best wishes to them! While it’s not as serious or complex as something written by Mahatma Gandhi or even Confucius, having fun with graduation quotes is okay!

10. “Accomplishing the small things is the first step in achieving greatness - graduating shows that you’re well on your way!” - Anonymous

What a wonderful quote to kick off the ceremony or write in a farewell card. It’s short, simple, powerful, and, most importantly, meaningful! It’s a sentimental way to say congrats and good luck!

11. “Many dream, some try, few achieve. You have achieved it! Good luck and happy graduation!” - Anonymous

A special way to end the ceremony, this direct quote pulls at the heartstrings and sets the tone for moving on to the first grade. It can even be displayed during a graduation party if your district hosts a bash after all the festivities wrap up on this important day.

12. “Be bold, be courageous, be your best.” - Gabrielle Giffords

Anyone who has ever taught or raised a  kindergarten  child can truly appreciate this line! It’s perfect for capturing the essence of a spunky kindergartener and gently reminds them to stay who they are as they move on in school. Any little graduate will understand the context behind this message, and it will leave them smiling on their last day as a kindergartener.

13. “Promise me you’ll remember - You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” - A.A. Milne (Winnie the Pooh)

There’s no better way to leave one place and move on to another than to make a promise to a teacher or parent and oneself! Truly words of wisdom, this special day will be remembered forever!

14. "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." - C.S. Lewis

A quote from C.S. Lewis that encourages the young graduates to continuously dream and set goals throughout their life, no matter their age. It's a beautiful message that can inspire them to always strive for more.

15. "Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together, they make this world a beautiful garden." - Anonymous

This quote recognizes the individuality of each student and emphasizes the beauty of diversity. It's a fitting message for kindergarteners as they are just about to start their individual educational journeys while contributing to a diverse community.

Quotes for parents at a kindergarten graudation

• "It's not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings." - Ann Landers  
• "Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them." - Lady Bird Johnson  
• "Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded." - Jess Lair  
• "The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence." - Denis Waitley  
• "Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." - Anne Frank

What does the kindergartener graduate from?

It’s important for both teachers and parents to remember what these little people have accomplished. They’ve been moved from a comfortable home environment to a big, wide-open school. This school is filled with faces and places they’ve never seen before, and these little learners have persevered throughout the year to adapt, acclimate, learn, make friends, and follow the rules. While it may have been a much easier transition for some students over others, at the end of the day, a graduation ceremony is a time to cheer!

Children at this stage have learned their ABCs, how to count, and identify some words and string them together in a short sentence. They have learned how to use their words to ask for what they need, when they need help, and to stand up for themselves. They learned how to become more independent in the restroom, cafeteria, and bus. It’s often overlooked how much a kindergartener goes through in one day, let alone one year.

In conclusion, kindergarten graduation is much deserved and celebrates the efforts of the teacher and family as well!

If you are a kindergarten teacher, a parent, or specialist and want to gain some great graduation and kindergarten quotes, look no further! Consider some of these sweet sayings to make your celebratory ceremony special! Whether you’re looking to cite powerful quote makers, Robin Williams, Oprah Winfrey, Ronald Dahl, or good old Winne the Pooh, there are perfect inspirational graduation quotes waiting for you!

Kindergarten Graduation Speech For a Teacher

One of the special moments for parents is the preschool graduation ceremony of their children when they complete the very first step of the academic platform and move forward to knock on the door of the school. On this day parents and other family members are very excited and they try to make the preschool graduation ceremony special for their kids. To celebrate this day teachers also play their role and try to organize a memorable preschool graduation ceremony for kids. In this article, I have written a Kindergarten graduation speech for a teacher to deliver in the ceremony.

Also Read: Kindergarten Moving Up Ceremony Script – Preschool Graduation

Good morning everyone to the parents, guardians, family, and friends of our moving-up students and to our students. You have made it. You have made it for another year and I would like to congratulate our students for sustaining one year in kindergarten. Can our parents give them a round of applause?

Congratulations! The performance has been well done and now what you have done for the year it’s being honored for today and what you have accomplished for the year the result is successful.

So with that, I would always believe that the children are our heritage and I like the program you have. God has a plan for each of our children and the excel begins here so with that I would like to thank you, parents, for giving us the opportunity here at Central to start what God would want your children to become.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help move your children to become who they are as God has planned. I would also like to thank you for all the hardships you have done and I know these children of ours would really do or would really achieve much more later on.

Moreover, I would like to congratulate the parents too! Children can we give our mama and papa a round of applause and say to them thank you. Children, can you say thank you to your mama and papa? Can I hear you say thank you?

I would like to also congratulate the kindergarten for all the teachers and staff. I know you have labored so much for all the hard work and now it pays. Indeed, we have plans to bring forth improvement to the kindergarten, and hopefully, we will be able to materialize it little by little as soon as possible.

We are simply waiting for the plans to be done and we are looking eagerly forward to that headway and improvements to the kindergarten. We also look forward that the next generation or your next children would also be enrolled at our kindergarten.

So with that, I would like to officially welcome you here in the moving up ceremony and I just would like to leave what proverbs have said: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” So, hopefully, what our children have learned here at the kindergarten, we hope they would be able to achieve and be found that more at the time they would be needing it then we know that they will not be departing from righteous ways that have been set for them.

Once again congratulations, good morning, and welcome to the moving-up ceremony. What do you want to read next? Please let us know the script and sample speech you need, by commenting in the comment section below.

Inspiring emcee script for 2023 graduation & moving up ceremonies – ignite the future.

Table of Contents

Sample Emcee Script for Moving Up or Graduation Ceremony

A emcee script in the graduation ceremony is quite helpful because all schools will be conducting or celebrating graduation rites or moving up ceremonies every year. For those teachers who are assigned to be EMCEEs or Masters of Ceremonies but don’t yet have a guide, this emcee script will be useful for them.

An emcee script is sometimes difficult because there is a protocol to follow. Teachers who are always assigned to be the emcee at every event should be trained to guide them. Not only English majors but teachers from all subject areas must attend because not all English majors will be assigned to be hosts, but I believe all teachers who have the potential or ability to speak or communicate should also attend.

A sample emcee script in the graduation ceremony;                        

Emcee: A radiant morning to all. Today we mark an exceptional day in our calendar as we celebrate the tireless journey of our students. Welcome, one and all, to the 4th Senior High School Graduation Rites of Maria Ana High School with the theme, ______________.

Emcee: As we commence this significant occasion, let’s honor the strength of our nation with the Entrance of Colors.

Entrance of Colors

Emcee: Now, let us pay homage to our beloved nation and divine grace as we unite in the singing of the Triple Hymns, beautifully arranged by Mrs. Reyna L. Ostana, followed by a heartfelt Invocation by Mrs. Mina N. Solena. Please rise.

Singing of Triple Hymns and Invocation

Emcee: Thank you. Please take your seats. To usher in this grand ceremony, we invite our esteemed principal, Mr. Roel P. Antipolo, to deliver his welcome address.

Welcome Address by the Principal

Emcee: Now, we arrive at the highlight of our ceremony – the Presentation of Candidates for Graduation. We invite Mr. Roel P. Antipolo to present our accomplished students.

Presentation of Candidates for Graduation

Emcee: Our accomplished students will now receive their well-deserved Diplomas. Confirming them is our Schools Division Representative, Dr. Reymond M. Villaforte, who will then assist in the distribution of Diplomas along with our principal and our municipal mayor, Hon. Miquel T. Delos Santos. Graduates, when your name is called, please make your way to the stage…

Confirmation and Distribution of Diplomas

Emcee: Let’s now draw inspiration from a special message by our Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Reymond M. Villaforte.

Message by the Schools Division Superintendent

Emcee: Every battle won deserves recognition. Now, we move to the Awarding of Honors and special awards to our graduates.

Awarding of Honors to SHS Graduates

Emcee: Every success is built on the support and kindness of others. Let’s welcome Mr. Rain T. Villamonte, with Highest Honors, General Academic Strand, to express gratitude on behalf of the graduating class.

Words of Gratitude by Mr. Rain T. Villamonte

Emcee: As a rite of passage, our graduates will now declare their Pledge of Loyalty to their Alma Mater, led by Ms. Richelle Anne V. Rimones, with High Honors, General Academic Strand.

Pledge of Loyalty by the Graduates

Emcee: Celebrating their achievements and their dreams, our graduates will now present a lively rendition of their chosen graduation song, “Fight”. Prepare to be entertained!

Graduation Song Performance

Emcee: Every great endeavor is the result of many hands. Let’s call upon our FPTA President, Mr. Ronie T. Milao, to acknowledge those who contributed to making this ceremony possible, followed by his closing remarks.

Acknowledgment and Closing Remarks by Mr. Ronie T. Milao

Emcee: And now, as we conclude this significant milestone, we witness the Recessional. SHS graduates, embrace your journeys with boldness, optimism, and a relentless spirit. Congratulations!

Recessional

This emcee script at a graduation is helpful for the newly hired teachers in schools who are appointed as hosts or emcees. Teachers will be guided in what they say, even if each school celebrates the event in its own unique way.

The usefulness of the emcee script at the graduation is as a guide or a door to open up the teachers’ ideas about what to do at the graduation. It helps them embark and add more colors to make the event more memorable for the graduates. The best graduation ceremonies are in the hands of the emcee and how she/he runs the program.

Tips on how to effectively deliver an emcee script for a graduation ceremony:

• Preparation: Familiarize yourself with the script beforehand. Understanding the flow of the event will help you anticipate what comes next.
• Confidence: Confidence is key. It’s essential to maintain a poised and composed demeanor. If you’re confident, your audience will feel more at ease.
• Clear and Slow: It’s important to speak clearly and not too quickly. Take your time to enunciate your words properly so that your audience can understand what you’re saying.
• Maintain Eye Contact: Engage your audience by making eye contact. This helps to connect with your audience and makes your delivery more impactful.
• Adaptability: Be prepared for the unexpected. Things might not always go as planned, so being able to adapt quickly is a useful skill.
• Energy and Enthusiasm: A good emcee injects energy and enthusiasm into the event. Your energy can set the tone for the entire ceremony.
• Interactive: Engage with your audience. This could be through humor, asking rhetorical questions, or inviting audience participation at appropriate times.
• Cue Mastery: Understand and master your cues. Know when to start and end your parts, and when to introduce the next segment or speaker.
• Respect: Always be respectful and considerate. Remember, you’re there to enhance the event, not overshadow it.
• Have Fun: Enjoy the process. If you’re having a good time, chances are your audience will too.

Even though kindergarten graduation is a day the kids might not remember, the memorabilia that comes along with it makes the moment exciting to look back on in the future, all the way through to their high school graduation. It’s exciting to celebrate the new graduate in the present and retrospectively, whether that’s through pictures or graduation cards . From famous quotes to words of wisdom, read on for some of our favorite kindergarten graduation quotes to include in your card this year and congratulate your little one on their graduation day.

What To Write In A Kindergarten Graduation Card

You’ve got the graduation decorations, the end-of-year party planned, and your loved ones all around you for the graduation ceremony. What else could you be forgetting to celebrate the end of the school year? The card!

Saying the right thing can be challenging for the people closest to you, whether it’s in the party invitation or your card to the little graduate. Something that the kinder-grad can understand now and cherish in the future is a general way to create the perfect card. For kindergarten graduation, choosing a cute quote from their favorite book is always a good route to take. Children’s books have many great quotes with underlying, positive messages to incorporate in your note to them. Using a quote from a successful, inspirational person is a considerable alternative.

Whichever graduation quotes you decide on, try to add a piece of yourself as well. The quote can serve as the body of the card, and your personalized touch can be an introduction or a powerful conclusion. Words of advice or encouragement for the child and showing them how proud you are will be the perfect addition to the graduation card.

Here are a few steps to keep in mind when writing a kindergarten graduation card:

• Choose a quote that sets the celebratory tone in the body of the card.
• Include yourself in the introduction in order to make it personalized.
• Have a powerful conclusion that further explains the quote and why it is important to you and the kinder-grad.
• If there’s a particular graduation theme, see if you can incorporate it into the card to commemorate the end of the year.

Think about other places you can incorporate memorable quotes, like into their graduation gifts. Some ideas include:

• Photo Book: Commemorate the school year all the way up to their graduation party with pictures of their favorite events.
• Name Plaque: Engrave a memorable quote with a picture of all their classmates from the last day of school.
• Personalized Cup: Monogram a cup for the kindergarten graduate to use every day and be reminded of the fun time they had over the past year.

Once you have these things in mind, it’s time to pick your quote! Read on for a list of our favorite kindergarten quotes.
