[quote=Anonymous]Do not assume that every parent gives a gift. Different people, different finances, different cultures, different ideas about who to give monetary gifts to. There are people who have their kids in day care because they have to and scrapping together the money for the center is hard. There are probably people who are receiving financial aid. There are people who come from cultures where you don't give gifts to care providers. It is nice that you do but it really isn't mandatory and there are people who do not.

So give what your are comfortable with but I would not change the amount unless someone is doing an amazing job or someone is not doing their job and you have complained, politely, to management and nothing has changed.

DS is in ES now. I assume that some of the gift that I give to the teacher, through the room parent or PTA, who ever collects the group gift, is used for their pleasure and a good amount ends up being used in the classroom. I know Teachers are supplementing in their classrooms with some personal funds. I know that my DS Preschool teachers were paid a fair wage but it is not a ton of money and figured that they used the money to help with providing a more full holiday celebration for their family or a nice vacation that they needed after dealing with 20 4 year olds a day.[/quote]
