A Fun and Original Activity to Celebrate Back-to-School at Daycare or Elementary School

Back-to-school season is a special milestone for children, parents, and educators alike. It’s a time filled with new beginnings, fresh energy, and the excitement of seeing friends and teachers again. But it can also come with nervousness, especially for new students entering a daycare or elementary school for the first time.

At Agence Thaly, we believe the start of the school year should be a celebration — a joyful, engaging, and inclusive experience that helps students feel welcome and excited to learn. That’s why we offer a variety of artistic and festive entertainment options designed to transform the first days of school into a magical, memorable event for everyone.

Whether it’s for a daycare, an elementary school, an after-school program, or a community center, our team adapts to your needs, your space, and your budget to create an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

🌟 Why Celebrate Back-to-School?

While academic preparation is important, the emotional and social atmosphere at the start of the year can make a huge difference in how children feel about school. A special event can:

  • Create a warm and welcoming environment for both new and returning students.

  • Encourage social interaction, helping children form new friendships more easily.

  • Reduce first-day jitters by shifting the focus to fun and creativity.

  • Motivate teachers and staff with an uplifting, positive atmosphere.

  • Highlight the school or daycare’s values of inclusivity, joy, and community spirit.

Starting the year with a celebration sets the tone for a positive, supportive environment — one where children feel valued, included, and eager to participate.

🎭 Artistic Entertainment That Captures Young Imaginations

At Agence Thaly, we specialize in interactive, colorful, and adaptable entertainment. Our performers are trained not only in their art but also in child-friendly communication that ensures every interaction is fun, safe, and inclusive.

Here’s a closer look at our most popular back-to-school activities:

🎈 Balloon Sculptors

Our balloon artists transform simple balloons into works of art in just seconds. From playful animals and vibrant flowers to swashbuckling swords and whimsical hats, each creation is made to delight.

  • Fast & Interactive: Perfect for large groups — children get their balloon quickly while enjoying the creative process.

  • Custom Designs: We can tailor creations to match a theme, such as jungle animals, superheroes, or back-to-school motifs.

  • Take-Home Fun: Every child leaves with a colorful keepsake.

🎨 Fantasy Face Painting

Face painting is a timeless favorite that sparks imagination and play. Our artists use professional-grade, hypoallergenic, and water-washable products to ensure safety and comfort.

Popular back-to-school designs include:

  • Butterflies, unicorns, and rainbows for magical flair.

  • Superheroes, pirates, and dinosaurs for adventurous spirits.

  • Cats, dogs, and woodland creatures for animal lovers.

Each design is adapted to the child’s preference and the event’s pace, so no one is left waiting too long.

🤡 Clowns and Comic Characters

Our clowns are gentle, interactive, and never intimidating, making them ideal for younger children. They blend humor, storytelling, and games to keep kids engaged and laughing from start to finish.

We can also adapt the clown’s character to fit your event’s theme — from classic circus style to a friendly, school-themed character ready to “learn” alongside the children.

✨ Magicians

Magic is universally captivating. Our magicians offer age-appropriate shows that spark wonder and curiosity.

  • Small, intimate performances for classrooms or daycare groups.

  • Larger-scale shows for gymnasiums or outdoor stages.

  • Interactive tricks that allow children to participate in the magic.

Magic shows are an excellent way to keep children focused while giving them a truly memorable moment.

👣 Stilt Walkers

Stilt walkers instantly create a sense of spectacle. Standing tall above the crowd, they greet children as they arrive, wave from afar, and add a touch of whimsy and wonder to any event.

  • Ideal for outdoor playgrounds or schoolyards.

  • Can be themed to match the event — from colorful back-to-school characters to seasonal designs.

  • Perfect for photo opportunities that families love to share.

🎯 Customizing Your Back-to-School Event

Every school or daycare is different, and we understand that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why Agence Thaly offers turnkey, customizable services based on your needs:

  • Number of participants: From intimate daycare groups to entire schools.

  • Location: Indoor classrooms, gymnasiums, playgrounds, or community centers.

  • Duration: Short 30-minute activities or all-day celebrations.

  • Budget: We work with you to maximize impact while respecting financial limits.

You can also combine multiple performers to create a mini back-to-school festival — imagine face painting stations, balloon twisting, and a magic show all in one day.

🌈 Creating Lasting Memories for Children and Staff

The first days of school are more than just an academic start — they’re emotional milestones. The joy, laughter, and creativity experienced during a special event can:

  • Strengthen bonds between classmates and teachers.

  • Give children a positive association with school.

  • Offer families a moment to share in the excitement.

  • Inspire creativity and curiosity that carries into the classroom.

Our team works regularly with schools, daycares, municipalities, and community organizations to ensure each event is safe, organized, and memorable.
