Gifts for daycare providers

[melis74]

What do you give to your daycare providers for Christmas? I was thinking about a gift card somewhere, not sure of the denomination yet though. And do you include the Director of the daycare center? Mia has three regular teachers...two are the infant teachers and one is the one year and up teacher but she is in w/the under ones quite a bit of the time. In the evenings when I pick Mia up there is another woman in the room. Sooo confusing, lol.

The first year, I did small tabletop decorated Boxwood Christmas trees (basically an arrangement of cut greens shaped like a tree and decorated with little ornaments and ribbon). I did those for his 2 regular teachers, plus the one who his class with merge with later in the day.

Last year, I wasn't really ahead of the game so I did gift cards (can't remember where to, and I want to say $25?) which I only did for his teacher and her aid.

I haven't done anything for the director in the past, although this year I will because she is actually his VPK teacher. No idea what I will be doing this year. I'm glad you posted this, because I hadn't even thought of them yet.

I'm planning on giving them DD GCs & a Yankee candle

I am struggling with this as well. Sometimes in the morning when I drop DS off his teacher is not there yet so I drop him off in another room with 2 teachers. Then sometimes in the afternoon her is in the infant room with another teacher. So if I included the director and the front desk lady that would be 7 people to buy for!

What I am thinking of doing is making little mason jars with candy in them and giving those to everyone and then getting his main teacher a gift card as well.

So confusing!

I am going to make DD's pre-school teachers fudge and harden it in a fancy silicone covered cookie cutter shaped as a tree and a snowman. Cheap and yummy!
