These kindergarten graduation certificate templates can be awarded to children at the end of the year. You can personalize each kindergarten certificate with the child’s name, the name of the kindergarten, date, and teacher’s name or signature. They can be printed after you have entered these details or you can print them and add the details by hand. Either way, they will be great keepsakes for your kindergarteners.
Kindergarten Diploma Awards
The Kindergarten graduation program template can be used with or without a photo (there are two different versions below).
Since the text can be edited you can create many different awards and certificates for kindergarten with these templates. You can also make children’s graduation certificates for primary school, pre-kindergarten or preschool.

Kindergarten graduation ideas
Here are some ideas to ensure that the graduation ceremony will be a memorable event:
A graduation diploma is one of the best ways to remember the event and leave the graduates with something that will remind them of this special day. All of our diplomas are free to make and download. You can print them at school or have them printed at your local printer. The version with a photo is more personalized but it is up to you. If you do create a photo version then keep the details that repeat themselves and keep replacing the photo and name of the child. That will save you time if you are making diplomas for the entire class. Also, ensure that you have a photo for each child.
Make a kindergarten memory book – see this free memory book which can be downloaded free. If you make one by yourself add a self-portrait, some pictures, ask each kid to write what they want to be when they grow up.
End of the year gift – you can make cute end of the year gifts with cheap but useful products that the kids can use to keep busy in the summer such as crayons and notebooks.
Make a self-portrait – my son made a self-portrait in kindergarten that I have kept for many years. It is not only a cute piece of art but it is something that you can never replicate later on in a life.
Make a hand and footprint – there are so many ideas on the web. You can wrap it up nicely and turn it into a gift. It is also a great way to see how your kid has grown.
Make a graduation shirt for the entire class. Add each child’s name, the class, school and year.
Take photos on the first day and the last day. The kids and their parents will love to see how much they have grown.
DIY kindergarten caps – there are many sites on the web that offer instructions on how to make them and it will save money and be a fun craft you can do with the kids.
Photo props – you can make your own graduation photo props or download them from the internet. A photo booth is a fun addition to any graduation party and the photos will be so cute!
Make a book with art each child created throughout the year. Keep a selection of pictures and keep adding them to the book. Make a binder cover and put them in a binder.
