daycare teacher gifts...

DS has two primary teachers and two that help in the morning and afternoon for about an hour each.  I was thinking of making them all some treats and then getting gift cards to wawa or somewhere like that.  Is it passe to get bigger gift cards for the teachers that are with him all day and smaller amounts for the ones that are only there an hour a day? Also, if anyone wants to share... how much do you spend on christmas gifts for childcare providers? this is our first year in daycare so this is new to me!
Thanks!

Re: daycare teacher gifts...

  • I'm not sure what is the norm, but we have a tight budget this year with the hubster laid off.  We did $15 starbucks gc and a package of Ghirardelli squares for each of Emma's 3 teachers.  I was going to do more for the main teacher, but it was just easier to do the same.  This is for her two day a week, AM only Preschool.

  • Jack has two teachers and 4 aides/teachers from other classes that supervise during dropoff and pickup.  I gave his two teachers $25 Target GCs and the aides $15 Target GCs.  Everyone also got a bag of Lindt truffles  - 3 for $10 at Target this week!  And I wrote them each a little note thanking them.

    I did a poll on FB as this was our first year for giving to daycare teachers and most people said anywhere from $10-$20 for teachers and $5-$15 for aides.

  • Thanks guys! a friend just told me $50 per teacher and I thought that was really high. I was thinking $25 for the two main ones and $10 for the two others.

    Thanks!

  • Hunter has two main teachers.  I bought a bottle of fun nail polish and a small lotion and made a package that said "For your mistle-toes" and I am writing a thank you card.  I will probably throw a sugar cooking in there too when I do my baking this weekend.   Money is really tight this year, and I would love to do more, but it is what it is.

  • My kiddo has 2 main teachers.  They are getting a $25 GC to Amazon each.  My plan is to make a batch of cinnamon rolls for the staff to share.  (Not lame.  I make really good cinnamon rolls)

  • Not lame at all. Now I want a cinnamon roll!
