Daycare and Tipping
I know there've been several posts in the past about tipping, but I'm hoping I can get some updated information.
For those of you who have DC in daycare full-time, can you please let me know (please FM if you feel more comfortable) how much you tip the various daycare "teachers" for end of the summer, end of the school year and holiday time? All of the teachers are considered full-time.
We have two DC in daycare and there are 11 teachers just for the summer. We want to tip fairly (and we really like their teachers), and we also need to balance that with the fact that we pay an awful lot for daycare each month.
Thanks so much!

Daycare and Tipping
NEVER TIP! I give a gift card at the holidays and soemthing on teacher app. day.
We pay a lot for daycare and IMO there is no need for tipping at all.

I give gift cards for holidays or when my daughters are "moving up" to the next class.

Re: Daycare and Tipping
I don't tip. I pay DEAR for that place. I give the teacher's a holiday gift in December. A generous one. And that's it.
