daycare - gifts?

Daisy622 · June 2013

Hi - I am a first time mom....LO is just shy of 7months and has been in daycare since she was 11 weeks. I really like the daycare, I am comfortable with the staff, and in the short time she has been there I have had a positive experience. One of her teachers birthdays is next week - do I need to get a little something for her? What is the usual protocol? I was thinking a $10 gift card to dunkin donuts or starbucks....

No, you don't NEED to do it but if you would like to I am sure something tiny would be really appreciated.

Of course you don't need to, but if I knew it was one of the teachers bdays, I would definitely pick them up a $10 DD card. But I don't think it is expected at all.

Thanks - I think I will get a little something

I wouldn't get a gift. Maybe a nice card. I only give gifts for end of yr and teacher appreciation week. Any events in between gets a card. And like MBenit suggested you're starting a trend. I have two kids, 3 teachers each plus morning care, front desk,etc... I don't have that much disposable income.

Personally I would not do gifts for birthdays, b/c then you need to remember everyone's birthdays or someone may get upset. I do gifts at Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Week, and when my child moves up to the next class.
