Small stars on a big stage: daycare festival inspires all visitors!

In the first half of June, the family festival in the Catholic daycare center St. Elisabeth in Neustrelitz became a colorful experience that captivated numerous families and friends. Parents, grandparents and guests flocked to the daycare center to celebrate with the young children. Despite an unexpected rain shower, which required a laying of the program into the interiors, the cheerful atmosphere did not allow himself to be clouded. Many children presented a varied repertoire of songs and dance performances that delighted the audience. Following the performances, visitors were able to take part in various hands-on activities that the daycare staff had organized. These included goal wall shooting, creating huge soap bubbles and face painting.

A special attraction of the festival was the presentation of a police motorcycle and a emergency car by the federal police, which fascinated young and old. An ambulance from the Neubrandenburg professional fire brigade was also on site and offered an exciting opportunity to visit. In addition, the children enjoyed the DRK visiting dogs, which also beautified the festival. The entire daycare team would like to thank everyone involved who contributed to the success of this event and hopes for a repetition in a similar framework.

a festival for the whole family

Such festivals are popular in many daycare centers and have the character of traditions that are repeated annually. A festival does not have to be boring. As it became clear at the St. Elisabeth day care center, creative design options are required. For example, you could arouse curiosity with original fixed names such as "Daisy Festival" or "Circus Festival" and include the children more into the planning. It is advisable not only to restrict the events to recurring formats, but also to consider new ideas such as thematic treasure hunts or hands -on activities in order to actively integrate the children and promote parent work. Such ideas can not only loosen up the festival atmosphere, but also strengthen the connection within the daycare community, which is increasingly focused on, such as Pro-Kita

Another aspect is the integration of new parents and children to strengthen their sense of community and give everyone involved the opportunity to get to know each other better. Some facilities rely on special parent festivals that not only serve the children, but are also celebrated together. Childcare could be useful during the parents' events in order to make it easier for single parents to participate.

sustainability and future

The importance of sustainable festivals is increasingly emphasized. Festures can be designed with ecological materials and suggested that even the little guests are included in the planning and implementation of decorations. In this way, the commitment to the environment not only remains on the table, but becomes part of community formation. Tips for the sustainable design of celebrations such as the use of recycling material or serving drinks in reusable bottles will help to make festivities alive in the future. Supporting offers for daycare lines, such as seminars and coaching, are also helpful to manage personnel bottlenecks and challenges in cooperation with parents, as [https://www.bildungheldnen.com/p/gelungen-elternfeste-in-der-kita) emphasizes.

The Catholic daycare center St. Elisabeth remains a contact point for interested families. Free day care centers are available, and interested parties can report directly to the daycare management in order to become part of this living community.
