Daycare teacher gifts

I know, I know, it's way early to be thinking about holiday shopping but with #2's impending arrival in late October, I need to start planning now.

What are some typical gifts you've given to daycare teachers? 

Also, Jack has 2 regular teachers but because he's there all day (7:15-5:15), I'll see some regular helpers that are there to monitor the kids during pickup/dropoff.  Do I get them a gift too?  It's the same girls (2-3) and I do know their names.

Re: Daycare teacher gifts

  • There are four women in DD's room - two of them are primary teachers but they all cover for each other during different parts of the day.  I felt funny excluding the other two, so I just got something for everyone.

    At Christmas, I did a bottle of nail polish "for your mistletoes" and a Wawa gift card for each.
    At the end of the school year, I gave them each a beach towel and a Macy's gift card.

  • I do Wawa gift cards for everyone - teachers and the gym daycare ladies.

  • I did mugs from Michael's with wawa gift cards for 5 teachers since he had just moved up a few weeks before Christmas last year.
  • Awesome idea.  I already get Wawa gift cards for the trashmen and mailman so looks like that shopping will be easy!

  • Pinterest is always showing cute teacher gifts where you put a small giftcard in a reusable tumbler.  Like a Starbucks card in a Starbucks tumbler.  Or a Wawa one in cup would be cute too and super easy.

  • We send in breakfast for C's daycare teachers - a Box of Joe, doughnuts, and bagels & cream cheese spreads. 

    For C's first Christmas at daycare, I checked in with the center to see if they had a gift giving policy and buying breakfast is what the VP recommended. I ran with it.
