Little Graduates
Caps on heads, big smiles too,
Today we cheer, just for you.
Colors bright on robes so small,
Little feet in the big hall.
Rhymes we've learned, numbers too,
Songs and stories, old and new.
Hand in hand, we take a bow,
Our preschool journey ends now.
Stars you are, and stars you'll be,
Dream your dreams, wild and free.
From tiny seeds, great oaks grow—
Step forward, it's your show!

Caps on tiny heads, standing tall,
Bright eyes gleaming, they've conquered all.
Small steps march, to rhythms bold,
Little hearts brave, stories untold.
Hands in air, diplomas tight,
Cheerful giggles, sheer delight.
Proudly they stand, a joyful crew,
Colors of dreams, in every hue.

Steps so eager, to paths unknown,
Together they stride, how much they’ve grown!

Little hands wave goodbye,
With a twinkle in their eye.
Laughter filled our sunny days,
In countless, wondrous, lovely ways.

Secrets in crayon, bold and bold.
Snack time tales and nap time dreams,
Glittery crafts and playful screams.

Hand in hand, we say farewell,
With stories of preschool we’ll always tell.

From Play-Doh to Pencils
From squishy Play-Doh, colors blend,
To pencils sharp, on lines they depend.
Crayons and paper, tales to tell,
From messy tables where masterpieces fell.
Blocks stacked with care, towers tall,
Now to desks, where questions call.
Glitter and glue, crafts galore,
Make way for numbers, and letters to explore.
From circle time on tiny seats,
To rows of desks and learning feats.
Snack times fade to study dates,
From playful yells to scholarly debates.
Goodbye to preschool, our fun-filled den,
Hello big school, with pens and then,
From Play-Doh to pencils, we march ahead,
With dreams of books and stories read.
