I never tip. I am courteous all year, and my kids are well-behaved.

It isn't a tip it is a gift. If you have cleaners (I don't) you should most certainly tip them! When I had cleaners years ago 2x a month (my spouse was deployed) I gave them a month's wage between them.  I do know most people who will give a week's wage for the year end gift.

We like one teacher this year and the other teacher is not good (yells and my child is scared to go to school but teacher and principal don't change) and each class has an aide.  Usually class parents do a pool for teachers and aides so I will give to that ($20-$25 a class).  Last year I gave to that and gave the teachers a separate gift card because liked them so much, but this year I won't because of the one not good teacher.

I would give daycare teachers more because unless you are in some fancy child care facility they aren't making a great wage.  I think the people who take care of your kids are really important.  When I was a babysitter in high school (babysat for one family 3-4 days after school, weekend nights and sometimes when they went away for a night) they would give me $50-$100 at Christmas and I thought that was so kind.  Granted this was now 20 years ago...
