[quote=Anonymous]We give a week’s tuition, split among the teachers. IMO we have a high income ($200k), and we did this when we had two kids in daycare as well- it was really a stretch. But we love our daycare, the teachers are amazing, and I know they are not paid as much as they deserve. So we make it work.

However, two additional points- one is that at our daycare, the class parents collect money in a pool. I like this because the teachers don’t know who gave what and there is no favorable treatment. TBH I wouldn’t expect that but this really separates the two things. My DC still makes a card for his teachers so he gets to appreciate them in that way.

Second, since I manage the class gift, I can tell you that a week’s tuition is certainly not the norm. I would say maybe about half the parents do a gift like that- $100-$200 range per teacher, and then it varies from there.

So my advice is to consider a class gift from all the parents, be generous when considering a gift bc daycare workers have a tough job, and also only give what you can honestly afford.[/quote]
