After reading a CELA Amplify! article titled, “Preschool Graduations – who are they really for?” by Danielle Bopping, the team at Kubby House childcare centre in Cobar, NSW, decided to reflect on their traditional end of year celebrations. These celebrations involved the typical hat, gown and presentation, which the families absolutely loved.
In 2023, a reimagined celebration emerged, shaped by a fresh approach and the children's direct contribution to the planning. Centre coordinator Peta Rufo shares how the children's ideas were incorporated, and what the verdict was from children and families.
