Daycare gift amount

Doing gift card since I procrastinated on picking out a gift, does these amounts sound ok???? or change???

#1 - started the preschool late summer, got moved up when school year started but kept the main teacher......
Was thinking $30 Head Teacher, and $30 for Assistant ( head teacher leaves early afternoon, so dc gets a good amount of time with assistant, and loves her most)

#2- started daycare last week, but will have the same teachers through first half of next year.. Was thinking $20 Head Teacher & $20 for Assistant.

Then I was thinking I was done shopping..... Theres a teacher who sometimes gives #1 breakfast if #1 hasn't arrived yet, and a girl who fills in at end of day in #2 room after head has left, but I'm very strapped on cash now that we are paying for 2 in daycare full time.

I think that's fine. I'm only giving to DS's teachers in his classroom plus the floater who helped out a lot over the summer when he started. I'm not giving for anyone who fills in here and there because it's a lot of different people.

I give $25 GC to the head teacher and two cute candy filled treats to the assistants. No one gets more than the head teacher. I used to give the director a bottle of wine but I'd rather hit her with one right now so I figure we'll leave the bottle at home.

I just called this afternoon to get the name for the head teacher in the infant room, cause I could only remember the assistant..... and they then start to also say the name of the third person in the infant room- who fills in later in the afternoon........ BUT I know sign only lists the two names, yet I'm now starting to feel a little guilty.....

or do I just get something like chocolate for the infant room teachers- since she's only been there a couple weeks and do something when she moves rooms?
