Daycare gifts?

We have 2 kids in daycare 3x per week. Each kid has one main teacher and two assistants. What should we give as holiday gifts?

Thanks!

Re: Daycare gifts?

we have one child in daycare 5days per week (full time)

This is a licensed at home daycare. Two main teachers, 2 assistants and the husband of one of the main teachers, also father of other main teacher is around almost daily interacting with the kids, playing music for them etc.

For the main teacher plus husband - $100 GC to their fave restaurant

Other main teacher - $75 GC
Two assistants - $30 gift cards

I am making cookies for all!

Daycare gifts?

DD goes FT. There are 6 teachers and 2 PTers. I'm doing $50 for one of the teachers who goes out of her way for my DD. I'm doing $30 to the others, $15 for the PTers, and I need to find something for the owner. She is just amazing and I really want to thank her for everything she has done for us and DD. And I may send some food in for everyone...not sure...kind of running out of time.

Re: Daycare gifts?

I've got 7-8 people to give to. DD goes to a small in-home daycare and she has 6-7 people rotating throughout the day/week. I am giving $25 gift cards to each of the women and a $50 gift card to the owner. Everyone is getting homemade peppermint bark wrapped nicely in a cookie box as well.

Please - this annoys me to NO end b/c my daycare prints us out a list of all teachers

My boys are there 3x a week.

There are openeres/closers/breakers (5 PER child's classroom)
Plus 2 'head' teachers each

Plus the directors & admin staff

I'd be spending $1k !!

I do a huge cookie/chocolate tray to the entire staff and leave it w/ the director -

and I buy GCs for the head teachers, and the assistants I know and see interacting w/ my kids - Certain girls are wonderful at drop off/pick up and I have no issue giving them a gift - others I am LESS than impressed with -

I also still give to their infant teacher (they are now 3.5 and 1.5) because she still comes out of her classroom every morning to say hello to my boys -

We get the huge list as well!!! They don't put openers/closers and breakers on there - they take all of the assistants and PT workers and assign them a class thankfully!

I am giving giftcards to the head teachers/assistants (each DS has an assistant that I feel does as much as the head teacher and both DSs love them!) I'm also giving them Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers.

I wasn't sure how much to give overall so I spoke with a couple of friends with kids there - I'm giving $25 each. I originally thought it was the norm to give more and I was stressing because it's a lot of $$!!! One of the moms with two kids in the school is having lunch brought in for all of her kids teachers.

I am giving handsoaps to the exec director, director, asst director and late program teachers (since my sons are enrolled in the program and I like them a lot).

I am doing $25 giftcards to the two directors, AM UPK teacher, and PM UPK teacher. I am doing $10 giftcards to the TA's and the girls who are in the morning part of the day.
