❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Should I invite the whole class to a preschool party?
It depends on the school policy. Many preschools require you to invite everyone or no one. If doing a smaller party outside school, keep it to 6-10 kids and be discreet about invitations.
How do I handle kids who do not want to participate in games?
Always have a quiet alternative activity available (coloring table, playdough station). Never force participation. Shy kids often join in after watching for a few minutes.
