Gifts for Childcare Providers?
Posted on December 3rd, 2008 – 4:51 PMBy Kay Krhin
I just checked our Cribsheet in-box and we’re getting several questions about what to give your child’s provider for the holidays.
We had a lot of great ideas and discussion on this topic last year (read here) - but it is always worth revisiting this time of year.
What to give your daycare providers/teachers/teachers assistants for the holidays.
A few inquiries we’ve received:
Between my two kids, we have about 15 gifts we need to give, so I’m
unable to afford nice gift cards. And I’ve heard that teachers get weary
of getting sweets (seems crazy to me!).
Does anyone have any fabulous and inexpensive ideas?
Are you supposed to tip daycare workers for Christmas? If so, how much? Is
it per worker, or can you do one tip? And can a gift work as well
(especially baked goods) or is that cheap?
What about the giving a gift equal to one week’s daycare rate to a home daycare provider - does this unwritten rule of thumb still exist?
Please share your thoughts and ideas. What are you doing this year for your provider(s)?
