[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our daycare, each parent gives a certain amount of cash per enrolled child (around $400, but you can donate whatever amount), which is then split among all of the teachers. Last year it worked out to around $500 for each teacher.

I really like this method and wish other schools would do it as well. I am more than happy to contribute to a year-end bonus and certainly understand how hard it is to have a low paying job during the holidays, and how helpful that cash can be to them. I think when this method is not used, the floaters often get left out or receive very little, and some of the floaters at my center are my and my child's favorites, plus I doubt they are paid as much as the regular teachers to begin with.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I would not be able to give $400, but I would very much appreciate knowing that all the teachers/floaters/etc were being accounted for.  I always try to give the front desk and cook a small gift, but by the time you end up adding all the teachers together it works out to be 7-8 people, and that does not account for teachers we had earlier in the year, etc.

That being said, our school also hits us up for birthdays and teacher appreciation. This isn't the only gifting opportunity.[/quote]
