DS graduating Daycare-Need gift ideas for provider...

Daisy166

I can't believe my boy is moving on to Pre-K.  He has been with this in-home daycare provider since he was 4 months old.  I consider her part of our family.  Now my DD is in her care so I'll still get to see her everyday.  But it is bittersweet that DS' last day is approaching. 

I really want to get her something special/meaninful but have no idea what to get.

Any ideas? 

Thanks

I think gift cards to restaurants or stores or even amex gift cards are always appreciated.  In addition to that, when DD left her infant care program,  the class put together a really nice photo album, with a picture of each kid, some artwork, and a little write up about what the child loved about them.  Since not everyone is transitioning, it might be a little dificult to do that, but I was a camp counselor and I always appreciated the parents who helped their kids make a project or a card to thank me.  Something personal, that the provider can save or maybe use with other kids.
