Help me decide..
So I'm thinking about gifts for my girls' daycare providers. They have a main teacher and a helper, however that switches a lot. Allison goes between two rooms. Rather than giving gifts to everyone (spending a lot and risk missing someone), I thought about bringing in food. I was thinking next week before they are hit with goodies close to Christmas. I thought about doing Chex Mix, a carmel pop corn, and maybe one other small snack like fudge.
Should I package it all up and give it to the director to put in their breakroom along with snack bags so they can help themselves. This way, all the employees can share (some of the girls' teachers have moved to the baby rooms in the past few months)
Or should I split the snacks between Mia's room and Allison's rooms and let them figure out how to share. My guess is that it would still have to go in the break room as it isn't like they can eat that stuff in front of the kids.
Another idea was to bring bagels and cream cheese in one morning.
Should I still get the main teachers a card and $10 gift card somewhere?
Re: Help me decide..
I like the bagels and cream cheese idea. I assume the teachers will be getting a lot of candy over the next few weeks.
I would still get the main teachers the extra card and gift card.
I agree with Hoektastic
I like the bagel & gift card idea too.

I'm going with a group gift for the whole staff. I just picked up the girls and Amelia's teachers have changed YET again...By the time they explained who was moving to what room, I was so confused. It sounds like there is a new lead and assistant in Mia's and a new assistant in one of Allison's room.
I'm emailing the director about this because they never send notes home to the parents about staffing changes. She puts something in the newsletter which is always two weeks behind. We won't get the next newsletter for another another.
I was going to encourage the group gift too, for the same reason.
Centers seem to have a major transition at least once a year. I hope this is the last of the changes for you the girls for a while. And yes, expecting a note home about what adult is in charge of your children is a reasonable request.
That's awful. We've had lots of changes at our center, too, but we always get newsletters. Can I ask where your girls' go?
