Laney started a great preschool 2 days per wk a few wks ago...we love the school and see our boys going there one day too. The teachers and director are awesome! I always figured we would get her teachers an Xmas and end of yr gift, but do you do bdays as well? Do you include the director? Just trying to figure out what others do since we are so new to this. One of her teachers and the director have bdays this month. I was thinking like a $10 gift card, what do you guys do?

For her four primary teachers: small Christmas gift, Teacher Appreciation week gift, and end of year gift.
From time-to-time I just show up with fresh donut holes as well.
For the Christmas gift, last year I was able to get them all the hard plastic, reusable cups with straws, that had their first initial on them. I figured it was a cool way for them to have spill-proof drinks in the class, with artfully marked cups.
For Teacher Appreciation week, cookies from the bakery.
For end of year, a card made by Lilianna, and a $10 gift card for Target.
I have not yet included the director, but I will going forward. She is AMAZING. Lilianna actually asks to stop by her office everyday to give her a hug goodbye. As a parent, that means the world to me, and absolutely deserves a token of my appreciation.
As far as what to get, really don't stress over it. I always found it very thoughtful and kind that the parents would think of me and appreciate me. Common gifts were coffee or restaurant gift cards, jewelry, Christmas ornament, and things I needed for the classroom (I had a wish list and it was a private school so I didn't have a spending budget).
The school may have its own protocol on gift giving so I would suggest to check into that maybe?
I definitely want Laney to get into the habit of showing her appreciation for what they do. Today she even hugged both of them when I picked her up which brought tears to my eyes knowing that she enjoys her time with them after just 5 days at school...aka Cool in Laney talk. Maybe we will pick up something simple like a small bouquet of flowers or pastries on their special days and save the gifts for holidays and end of the yr.
