Current reviews are very helpful to a business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786362 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 12:23:05 +0000 gingerbebe 2786362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a nice card, have your son make a drawing or craft for her (maybe stick a picture of him on it, if you want), and a gift card to Target or Costco (i.e. places you know she will frequent). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786344 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:55:12 +0000 erinbaderin 2786344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely do a gift, since they've had your son for two years and presumably love him. A heartfelt card and either a gift card, plant, or bottle of wine (depending on how well you know her) is probably what I would do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786341 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:52:58 +0000 HeartAbandoned 2786341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if things have been warmer since you delivered the news, a note expressing your thanks for taking good care of your son for the last two years, and a small gift (coffee, book, journal, small framed artwork, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786334 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:44:44 +0000 crazydoglady 2786334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: Thank you! That's a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786330 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:33:43 +0000 Jennibenni 2786330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not do a gift but I think a card where you express your appreciation for the love and care he has received would be appropriate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-a-thank-you-gift-for-a-daycare-you-broke-up-with#post-2786322 Tue, 14 Nov 2017 11:12:56 +0000 crazydoglady 2786322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has been going to the same daycare since he was 6 months old (he'll be 2.5 in January) but things have not been going great lately at daycare, so we decided to switch him to a preschool. It wasn't anything bad, really, but it just seemed like he wasn't thriving in that environment for a lot of reasons and there was a point that we thought he might get kicked out for hitting (I don't think discipline is her strong suit.) She can also be very condescending when talking to me. </p> <p>Anyway, she was very upset when I gave our 30 day notice because she said she had no idea we were looking to switch. I told her I didn't want to bring it up unless we knew for sure. Anyway, things were a little cold for a while during drop off and pick up but seem to be better. We are coming up on the 30 day mark and am wondering, do I get her a gift as a thank you? Would that be inappropriate? I know this is going to be hard for her because she loves DS so much and I feel a little guilty about that but, ultimately, I have to do what is right for my son.<br /> Sorry for the ramble...this has been an ordeal. </p>
