No.. the kids celebrated hannukah last week during regular school but no 'party'.

We have cookies with Santa tomorrow...

I am actually not sure, I can't remember what happened last year and this year we're away.

I think it's up to the teachers.

We had a holiday potluck with Santa the first week of December. Everyone brings food and a gift for their LO(s) and Santa doles them out. It's fun, but noisy!

Yep, they hosted a brunch with Santa last weekend and a class party next Wednesday!

Yep! On Friday. LO's teacher put together a little nativity play so I can't wait to see it. All LO will tell me is she is an angel.

They've been learning about the different holidays this month, but no party. I think the older years may have one though? (LO is 1)

Yes, it was lastFriday! Performances from the preschoolers and a potluck afterwards.

There is a “celebration of the seasons” potluck this Wednesday from 4-6. They don’t do anything that is explicitly Christmas themed (so, no Santa, no nativity, no tree up, etc.). This mirrors the “celebration of the seasons” held in the summer. There will be some games for the kids to play, the music lady is coming, etc.

No.

Yes, they had their little party yesterday, with Santa and treats. I wish they did a full production, but I realise those are hard to orchestrate. None of the parents of the smaller kids stay for the "party".

Our daycare does a really early party--it is just for the kids, and is billed as a gift to the parents from the staff. They pick a theme, and then on the last Friday of November, they stay open until 8, with special activities, costumes and dinner for the kids. The kids all really look forward to it and have a great time...so do the parents

We have a pajama party on Friday. They've been doing Hanukkah and Christmas lessons, so they'll be some of those celebrations. It's a public day care, but we don't pretend that holidays don't exist at all. They learn about a lot of different ones

No they don't celebrate any holidays at all at our center, not even secular ones like thanksgiving or valentines day

Yes! Ours had a holiday concert (just 3 songs but the cutest thing ever) followed by a potluck dinner. The community events like this were a big deciding factor in choosing our daycare.

No. Our preschool does not acknowledge holidays. It's one of the reasons we liked it as we are not religious.
