[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools have a $20 or $25 gift limit per teacher per year. Some parents are not aware of this, but it's in place for a reason. I would say that preschools can shut their eyes on similar gifts, to align themselves with public schools, but don't go over that. You can get the staff in trouble, definitely.

Really??? I had no idea!! My FCPS never communicated this to me when kid started kindergarten. I gave $75 in GC. To last year's teacher, I gave zero. Anyhow it makes sense, as they are public employees. I think federal employees have a $20 or so limit, and if they get a gift worth more than that, they have to report it. AFTER my old boss moved away, I gave her a bouquet of flowers that cost about $60. I got a thank you message and notification that she had to fill out paperwork reporting that gift!! It was just flowers that die in ten days! But I understand why a workplace can have such a policy.

As to daycare, that's odd. My center doesn't have that rule and parents even collect $10-$40 per family that wants to participate in pooling $ for a gift card for the many preschool teachers.

Op, since they explicitly said no cash/GC, I would give them an expensive food basket. There are so many good options![/quote]
