Nursery School Teacher Gifts

DD is "graduating" from 2 yr old nursery this week. Wondering what kind of gift should I get for the teachers. She goes 1 day a week and has 2 teachers. BTDT and teachers pleas chime in.

TIA!!

I think everyone always appreciates money. It may not be sentimental, but I think everyone likes cash.

Cash or gift card is best. My mom is drowning in pads/pen sets, keychains, teacher mugs, etc.

When my DD was 2 and in preschool, I gave the teacher a $50 GC to Barnes & Noble and the two assistants each a $25 GC to B&N. (DD went 2 days a week.)


This year (3s preschool) I'm giving both the teacher and assistant $50 Visa or Amex GCs since I found them to be both equally involved. I wanted to do $100 each because my DD loves them and school so much, but I'm afraid of overdoing it. I may do flowers as well. (DD goes 3 days a week.)

I got Eddies teachers, personalized stationery from Etsy, a scarf (to wear with an outfit, not a winter scarf) and a GC to Dunkin Donuts.

The parents contributed money towards a gift card to Grillfire a restaurant in our area for each teacher. Some of the parents gave additional gifts...I did beach totes and beach towels for them.

For Christmas and end of the school year we collect money from each parent if they choose and either get a gift card or give cash. I have done this the past 2 years and I think the teachers appreciate that instead of candles or what not.

If you receive a class list with the phone numbers, maybe make a call and see if parents would be interested in doing that. If not, then I would get a g/c to a store she likes (you can always ask the director) or give cash.

This year there are 13 kids in DS's class. 1 child didn't contribute and I collected $260, $20 per child. $160 went to the teacher and $100 went to the teachers assistant.
