I am closing in 3 weeks for good and would like to do something for the kids but also for the parents. Even though some parents have a pain my bum I still appreciate that they trusted me to bring their children to me. I love these kids and have a pretty good idea what I will do for the kids, but I wanted to do something for the parents too. Any ideas would be great

Maybe a bbq or picnic the Saturday before or after you close?

Pizza party one night at closing time? Do a picnic on the floor type thing.

you are very sweet to want to do this. I love that you want to have everyone involved to say good-bye...........

I really like the BBQ idea or maybe even a potluck so you dont have to do all of the work yourself.

Maybe you can have the kids learn a good-bye song and they can sing it for all the parents....

I wish you luck with your new chosen path.

A group photo of all the kids?

I think its really nice that you want to do something for your families. Whatever you chose, I'm sure that they will appreciate it.

When i finally close up shop, I plan on having a party at a neighborhood park and renting a bouncy house for the kids and having a bbq for past and present families. Having a table out with pictures through the years for the parents to take if they want.
If you want to do something just for the parents, how about a final sleepover at your house for the kiddo's. I have 3 girls moving on to kindergarten this year and I am thinking of doing this with them at the end of the summer. You could do it on the last day you are open.

I love Daycare's ideas; go for a potluck!

Your party idea sounds awesome! What a lot of fun it would be to see everyone from years past.
