HELP - Tipping the daycare teachers

Tomorrow is Zach's last day in the infant room. He was there about 4.5 months. What should I tip (get gift cards for) his 3 teachers?

ETA: I am not sure if any are considered the primary teacer so I am going to get them all the same thing.

Nothing like waiting until the last minuteChat Icon

I'd get some gc's for like Barnes and Noble or Starbucks/DD. And I'd probably get $40-$50 for the head teacher and $20-$30 for the aide (or whatever you are comfortable with!(

I am not sure if one of them is considered a head teacher. I think there are really 2 of them that are the primaries but I am not sure. The third is the one who comes in in the afternoon and I actually like her best. I will get them all the same just to be safe. Thanks so much for your advice.

Ahhh, my old daycare was sort of like that too, but always had a "head" teacher!

Since that is the case, I'd probably do $25-30 for all three.

Re: HELP - Tipping the daycare teachers

Thanks. We got them each $25 Amex gift cards. They only had $25 or $50 at the store so that made my choice easier.

I am just glad I remembered to get these. I was talking to Zach last night about how tomorrow would be his last day in the infant room and all of a sudden a light bulb went off and I was like CRAP. I am so last minute with everything.
