Nieces (DH) go to a Montessori center and for their birthday they have a "celebration of life" event where parents are welcome to participate.
This makes me wish my LO was in a Montessori center!
Our daycare will do something during snacks if you bring something in. And I know her teachers were singing Happy Birthday to all weeks before but not sure if "officially" there is anything in place.
Does your center do something similar even if it's not a Montessori center?

My son goes to a home daycare and they make birthdays a big deal. They'll print out his name on a happy birthday banner, hang balloons from the ceiling, and make him a special snack that he can share with everyone. They invite the parents to come and bring a cake. We also hang out gifts for every child. So I think it depends on the daycare?

We did this! I came, we had snacks and then we did a "walk around the sun" where they discussed the important event in Lala's life to date and walked around a circle three times. Such a special tradition.
Waldorf does it too.

@regberadaisy: That's awesome! I want my LO to go to Montessori, too. No special celebrations because we don't use a daycare.

@banana: I think so bc I remember my niece's daycare made a huge deal about birthdays too. Every parent brings in food, cake and treat bags.
@Mrs. Jacks: Yes! BIL was telling me about it and I love everything about it. It not only makes your LO feel special but I feel it's great that her friends learn something about her too.

The walk around the sun is a great event, it really helps kids understand the abstracts of age.

Sounds cool. I thought the walk around the sun might be some new age thing but since looch explained it...I think that is pretty cool way to teach the kids.
