The main teacher in our daycare room is leaving on Friday - we just found out an hour ago. Do we get her a thank you/going away gift? Is that weird? What is appropriate for something like this? I planned to do gifts when we graduated from the room, and didn't anticipate his teacher leaving before he did.

I'm still sort of in shock. We really love her, and this leaves us with 3 part-time teachers in the room: 1 who is very experienced, and 2 summer interns. Apparently they have hired her full-time replacement and are just waiting on the background check to clear - but we don't yet have any more information since it isn't final. *sigh* I know it will be totally fine, I'm just quietly freaking out a little.
