How do you celebrate birthdays?

It is the philosophy of the center that all children are to be remembered on their birthdays. It is permissible for parents to bring birthday refreshments to the classroom. Healthy treats are encouraged. The child may also wear a birthday crown or badge for the day. Birthday celebrations should be celebrated as a simple recognition of the child and should not be allowed to disrupt regular classroom activities or schedules. We do not encourage parents to hold a birthday party in the classroom or to bring in visitors such as clowns. If you want to expand upon the birthday celebration, please see the Director.
