The importance of farewell rituals

Farewell festivals in kindergarten are not only a celebration, but also an important ritual that helps the children separate from their previous group and to shape the transition to school. As part of the festival, the children can present songs, poems or plays, which not only promotes cohesion, but also increases community joy. In addition, such celebrations offer parents the opportunity to take photos and videos and thus capture permanent memories that go far beyond the kindergarten period. According to the Protkita-Portal.de, such rituals are important because they facilitate emotional farewell and strengthen the image of the school as a positive place.
