Little Students Growing Up – Leavers Gifts For Preschool

You’re proud of them for all they’ve achieved, but at the same time, you know you’ll miss their smiling faces. So you want to celebrate their time with you and make sure the send-off you’re giving them is one they’ll remember for years to come.

And for that, you need some awesome preschool leavers gift ideas! In case you’re struggling, here are a few of our favourites:

Mini Graduation Photos

Who says you have to wait until university to put on the fancy robes and cap? Moving from preschool to primary school is a big step, and we know you want to celebrate it just as much as we do.

Why not arrange a special photo day event, complete with professional portraits of their last days in uniform, or in a cute mini-graduation gown and mortar? Not only do the photos make amazing gifts, but it’s a brilliant way to celebrate the end of preschool, and is sure to bring a happy tear to many parents’ eyes!

Mini Yearbooks

A full yearbook might be a teensy bit much for a pre-schooler, especially one so excited about going up to primary school. But that doesn’t mean you can’t give those memories all the same. We can put together a mini yearbook called ‘My Little Time Capsule’, which is a great little memento of their time at nursery or preschool. It’s packed with pages to complete, with their favourite activities, photos of their time and friends, plus farewell messages from teachers too.

A lovely gift and an opportunity for an activity as children fill in their books and swap photos with their friends

Certificates

We’ve never met a kid who didn’t love a certificate. Something they can show off and be proud of, that represents just how much they’ve learnt in their time with you. At Smiles at School, we can provide you with a downloadable certificate just for enquiring about our leaver’s activities, so why not ask here?

Medals

A participation award for pre-school! Medals are the perfect way to show how proud you are of your leavers, and how much you want them to succeed in their next step. Your leaver’s medals can have your preschool’s logo, as well as a little message engraved into it for your students to take with them.

They’re great for leavers’ ceremonies, and give parents something to get excited about on social media too.

Teddies

Who doesn’t love a good teddy? Younger children often get attached to their teddy bears, which is why a little mini teddy could be the perfect leaver’s gift. Wearing a t-shirt with your their name and your nursery logo, tiny teddies are a loveable leavers gift to show your appreciation. There’s a good reason some people call them ‘hug bears’!

Leavers Parties

Celebrate the end of their time with you in style, by letting them run around, have fun and eat too much cake. That’s what the best parties are made of, right? Get some balloons in and play some party games, invite parents for a graduation ceremony and have activities to do.

A photo booth with instant printing is always a popular option since kids love getting silly in front of the camera (on their own terms!) and it can capture some wonderful memories

Branded Tote Bags

These great tote bags are a lovely option for packing their last-day treasures, and sending them on their way! High-quality tote bags can be practical and pretty, using a photo, perhaps your preschool logo and their name, and their own artwork emblazoned across the bag!

Tote bags are a lovely addition to your leavers pack, and as they are used by parents out and about afterwards, they’re fab for marketing too!
