1. Consult the requirements of the school or day care center.
Although celebrating a birthday or party at your child’s school or daycare is a great idea, you should first check if these types of celebrations are allowed and what are the requirements to be able to celebrate. Some schools allow celebrations at the end of the school day, others during the same school day, but without the party interrupting other classrooms, others have spaces dedicated especially for this type of celebrations; in short, everything will depend on the school your children attend; therefore, you should talk to the teachers to know the requirements and what you can or cannot do during the celebration.

2. Choose a theme for the birthday.
There is a lot to talk about when it comes to the theme of the birthday party, you can choose a theme of princesses, superheroes, characters, animals such as butterflies, dinosaurs, sharks; or professions, doctor, teachers, etc. There is a wide variety of topics to choose from, it is a good idea to discuss them with your child and take into account his or her tastes. The theme you choose will determine the invitations, decorations, games, desserts and more. Therefore, you should not take this point lightly, but stop for a while and think it through.
3. Distribute the invitations ahead of time to all of your child’s classmates.
Don’t wait until the last day to deliver the invitations. While it is true that all the children are supposed to be at school, it is important that you deliver the invitations in time, so that their parents can buy gifts or arrange the snack according to the party. In addition, children are excited about these activities and celebrations; therefore, they will be very excited to know that they have been invited and that it will be at the school.
4. Make a simple decoration.
According to the rules of the school or day care center, you will probably not have access to the place where you will celebrate the party well in advance. So prepare a simple, but beautiful decoration that you can set up in a few minutes. You can opt for small balloon arches that you can transport in your car, banners with the name of the birthday boy or girl or decorations that you already have ready to place at the place of the party. You can search Pinterestfor some great ideas or buy pre-assembled decorations on Amazon.
5. Prepare or hire a dessert table without complications.
As with the decoration, try not to overcomplicate things. If you are going to prepare or hire a dessert table you have to know that you will not have much time to place everything, so you should bring everything ready and have thought about how you will place everything. Dessert table set-up companies are experienced in this and could save you a headache at a school celebration.
6. Hire a professional entertainment service.
Celebrations in schools or daycare centers are very different from celebrations at home or where the parents of the little ones are present; in celebrations in schools or daycare centers, it is the teachers who take care of the little guests. That is why it is very important that you hire a service that is in charge of keeping the children’s attention at the party.
