Preschool Graduation Poems

Looking For Preschool Graduation Poems?

Time does fly fast. A year ago, your little tots were just shy new students in preschool. Now, here they are poised and ready to leap into the world of elementary education.

Graduation is an especially special day for these kids. On this day, they stand proud - a far cry from the tentative steps they took towards preschool during the first day of classes.

Thus, graduating preschool is a significant milestone in these children's lives as they open a whole new world of learning and experience.

And it is but fitting that we welcome this day with as much celebratory energy as they do. They've done so good in school. And befittingly, this day deserves to be remembered.

But just what could exactly make graduation day be memorable? What can you add to it to make it stand out in your memory as well as your child's?

The answer, nothing brings meaning, warmth, and a smile like preschool graduation poems.

You wouldn't have to worry about choosing a good preschool graduation poems, though. There are many that you can choose from. The key is to choose the theme you would like to pursue. Here are a couple of preschool graduation poems for you to consider:

The Congratulatory Poems

These type of preschool graduation poems celebrates the success you child has achieved.

Poems such as these highlight the hard work that your child has put in.

One famous example is "Oh! The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss.

"Oh! The Places You'll Go" (An Excerpt) ,By Dr. Seuss:

Kid, you'll move mountains!
So be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ale Van Allen O'Shea, you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So get on your way!

The Send Off

Send off-themed poems are also popular graduation themes.

In this type of poem, you acknowledge the next step your child is taking: elementary school.

Here is one example by Joanna Fuchs.

Your Adventure (By Joanna Fuchs):

Now that you've graduated,
Your adventure has begun.
Your schooling has prepared you,
For the race life has you run.
I/We praise you for your efforts,
And send good wishes, too,
For a future filled with happiness,
And your fondest dreams come true.

Your Own Composition

Nothing beats originality. Something you wrote yourself will always carry that personal touch. Furthermore, you can express what you truly feel. Aside from that, the graduation poem will be unique, too. You need not be an expert wordsmith to come up with some preschool graduation poems. And you don't have to make a long poem either. All it needs is your proud heart and your warm love. Here's a sample that can hopefully give you an idea.

The race is run,
A year is done,
You have conquered the challenge,
You did us proud, little one,

Now as you venture on to the next part
And we give you our love and support,
Our guidance and wisdom we impart,
Your success we shall hold in our hearts,

Rejoice! Graduation Day is here,
A fulfilling day for our little dear,
Rejoice! This is your day,
All the best we wish as we send you on your way.

Perhaps each child could pick a poem of their own to read aloud to the audience during the preschool graduation.

Dr. Seuss-Oh The Places You'll Go? is a pretty apt story to read as they move on or even maybe Jamie Lee Curtis-When I Was Little: A Four Year Old's Memoir of Her Youth, some selections from the book "Mr., God, This Is Anna" could be uplifting and the list could go on.

Some of the preschool graduation poems can make a parent all teary and proud.

Oh the Places you'll go

Oh, the Places You'll Go! Deluxe Edition (Classic Seuss)

Oh, the Places You'll Go! is the last book written and illustrated by children's author Dr. Seuss. It was first published by Random House on January 22, 1990. The book concerns life and its challenges.

Though written in the style of classics such as Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat, Oh, the Places You’ll Go! has many specific characters including a narrator and the reader. A young boy, referred to simply as “you,” initiates the action of the story. However, the presence of a main character helps readers to identify with the book. It is written in second person and uses future tense.

It is perhaps best known for the refrain, "Will you succeed? Yes, you will indeed. (98 3/4% guaranteed.)" I think this is a great idea as a preschool graduation poems.

In the United States and Canada, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a popular gift for students graduating from high school and college, spiking in sales every spring which makes it sell up to 300 thousand copies every year.[-wikipedia]

Inspirational yet honest, and always rhythmically rollicking, Oh, the Places You'll Go! is a perfect sendoff for children, 1 to 100, entering any new phase of their lives. Kindergartners, graduate students, newlyweds, newly employeds --all will glean shiny pearls of wisdom about the big, bountiful future.

When I Was Little: A Four-Year-Old's Memoir of Her Youth

From Publishers Weekly

Actress Curtis and illustrator Cornell evoke a healthy child's proud sense of self in this exuberant picture book. The narrator, a girl who prefaces almost every statement with "When I was little," delightedly lists all the things she can do now that she's nursery-school age.

"When I was little, I spilled a lot," she explains. "Mom said I was a handful. Now I'm helpful."

Pictures of a cheerful baby contrast with the protagonist in her maturity, and both a sunny palette of watercolors and playful lines effectively capture the narrative's buoyant spirit. Ages 4-8. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc
