Preschool Graduation Songs - The Early Childhood Academy

At the end of the school year, many preschool programs have a graduation ceremony. There is a lot of excitement as the children graduate from preschool and move on to kindergarten. Included in a ceremony, the children can sing one or several of these simple songs:

Graduation ceremonies are both joyful and unforgettable. Children are about to bid farewell to the past and enter a new stage of life. The days of preschool are like a balloon, full of color and laughter. Custom Balloons not only add to the joy of the ceremony, but they also allow the children to fly them together after the ceremony.

Graduation’s Here
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Grad, grad, graduate!
Our day is finally here!

We learned so much the whole year through,
Graduation’s here!

I’ve Been Having Fun in Preschool
(Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad)

I’ve been having fun in preschool,
Learning all year long.

I can tell you all about it,
Just listen to this song.

We’ve been learning shapes and colors,
Letters and numbers too!

I’ve learned how to share with others,
Now our year is through!

Kindergarten, Here We Come
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Kindergarten, here we come.
We know we’ll have lots of fun.
Lots of things to make and do.
Reading, Writing, Counting too.
Kindergarten, here we come.
We know we’ll have lots of fun.

Off to Kindergarten
(Tune: Oscar Meyer Weiner)

Oh, I’m ready to go off to kindergarten.
That is where I truly want to be.
‘Cause when I go to kindergarten,
Everyone will be so proud of me!

Kinder-Garten
(Tune: New York, New York)

Start spreading the news.
We’re leaving today.
We want to be a part of it.
Kinder-Garten!
We’ve worked very hard.
We’re ready to go.
We’re gonna be a part of it.
Kinder-Garten!
We know our ABC’s and our 1,2,3’s so well.
We’ve worked at sounding out words and stories to tell.
Just asked us to rhyme.
We’ll say hens and pens.
We’ve learned to share and get along with all our friends.
So now we made it here.
We’ll make it anywhere.
We’re on our way.
Kinder-Garten!

Leaving Preschool*
(Tune: Frere Jacques)

Leaving preschool, leaving preschool,
Yes we are…yes we are!
Our teachers were the greatest,
They taught us all the latest,
Things to learn, things to learn!

Graduation Day^
(Tune: When Johnny Comes March Home Again)

We are smiling great big smiles, hooray, hooray
‘Cause today is our graduation day.
We learned letters and numbers, too.
We learned about animals, in the zoo.
Oh, we’re all so glad, that you could come, today! (Point to audience)

We are jumping up and down, hooray, hooray! (Jump up and down)
‘Cause today is our graduation day.
We met friends and teachers, too.
We painted pictures, quite a few.
Oh, we’re all so glad, that you could come today! (Point to audience)

We are standing up real tall, hooray, hooray! (Stand up straight & tall)
‘Cause today is our graduation day.
We are proud of all we’ve done.
We loved preschool, we had fun.
Oh, we’re all so glad, that you could come today! (Point to audience)

We are waving to everyone, hooray, hooray! (wave hands)
‘Cause today is our graduation day.
“Goodbye, goodbye,” we now must say. (Continue waving)
Kindergarten, we’re on our way!
Oh, we’re all so glad, that you could come today! (Point to audience)

Preschool graduation will also be a very memorable moment in a child’s life. On this special day, we may want to give the children some special gifts. For example, we can give the children some Custom Coins as a memento, with each child’s name or image engraved on them. Even years later, when they see this special gift, they will recall these unforgettable years!
