I know..that would be horrible, wouldn't it? I would be suspect of those teachers if they took bribes like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-433212 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:44:06 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 433212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@crash806: I don't think the two new teachers will expect a gift/be upset that they didn't get anything. You could always give them each a little bag/box of coffee or tea, but no mug.</p> <p>@Mrsbells: I replied to your other thread. 6 teachers is a lot! I am betting they don't all expect something from you. If you did a mix of $5-$10 gift cards it wouldn't end up being too expensive. I've never compared holiday gifts with other teachers &amp; then been jealous because I got something different/less. </p> <p>@banana: I know you're joking, but I hope the teachers don't base their attention to kids on gifts the parents give :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-433198 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:34:05 +0000 banana 433198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son goes to a home daycare but it's family run (daycare lady, husband and daughter). Plus they hire 2 teachers to come every day. So I plan on giving the family a $100 Trader Joe's gift card (they always shop there) and each of the teachers a $25 Target gift card. Or maybe a box of chocolates/cookies for each of the teachers.</p> <p>In your case, I think it would still be nice to give the 2 new teachers something small, like a small box of chocolates. It won't cost much but it would be a nice gesture. Plus it never hurts to bribe teachers with goodies. They might give your kid a little bit extra attention. :) :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-433192 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:28:43 +0000 chrispygal 433192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the gift basket going to be a shared gift for both sisters? If so, maybe add in a couple more mugs or some chocolate and address to the entire daycare staff? </p> <p>I do think if you skipped the new people or even gave a token item it would be ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-433176 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:19:15 +0000 mamabolt 433176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has two main care providers, and we are giving them both $25 Target gift cards. The ladies in the older infant room do help out morning/evening, but we figure we will give them a gift sometime in the future when she's in their room full time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-433074 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:37:57 +0000 Mrsbells 433074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm bumping this post for more responses </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-430634 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:19:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 430634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing small gifts because she just started a new classroom that has 3-4 full time teachers and some support staff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-430632 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:18:08 +0000 Mrsbells 430632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really worried about this because my LO has several teachers at her daycare. 3 main ladies in the morning and then 3 in the afternoon. Am I supposed to get them all gifts. And what can I get them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-430610 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:08:44 +0000 winniebee 430610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree w/ Mrs. Bee.</p> <p>I have a situation where my son has 2 main teachers (2 days a week) and one woman at daycare is his teacher 1 day. So, I think I'm going to give the 1 day teacher something smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-430607 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:05:12 +0000 Mrs. Bee 430607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm if it were me i'd probably get them something very small, but since they just started yesterday, i don't think you absolutely have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gifts-for-daycare-providers#post-430601 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:01:49 +0000 lavender 430601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the etiquette here? So LO goes to an in-home daycare run by two sisters and I was going to get them a gift basket with coffee mugs with an assortment of coffees and teas. I just learned they hired two part-time employees and they started yesterday. Should I get them something (smaller/same thing)? What would you do? </p>
