I usually do nice hand cream sets since teachers wash their hands so much.

Former preschool teacher -- I always liked receiving a Target card, or even cash. I don't recommend Starbucks cards, as not everyone goes to Starbucks.

Many parents would give me and my assistant $10 for the holidays (p/t preschool), and others would give $20. I also received a lot of chocolates at Christmastime.

If you do give gifts to the specials teachers, how much? We do class gifts to the primary teachers and I do my own personal gift to them as well. But last year I hadn't even thought about the specials teachers. Is a $10 gift card appropriate?

I used to do a visa or target gift card, but now I go old school and just give cash. It's easy for me and it's cash (money) for them.

I was not planning to do anything for the specials teachers. I am not even sure what their names are to be honest. I was just going to give gift cards to the primary and assistant teachers. I think amex or target are best, something anyone could use. (I personally love starbucks gift cards too but my husband does not drink coffee, so I always hear about why that's a stupid gift!)


Haha, perhaps we are in the same class I will do gift cards as well then and skip the specials teachers!

We are in Arlington, at a 1/2 day preschool. Usually the room moms collect for just the teachers. I don't think the music/art/science teachers get anything. I was a room mom last year, and the specials teachers were never mentioned at our room parents meetings.
I'd just do a $25 gift card to each of the two teachers to Target or Amazon.

Target or find out a teacher's interest and get a gift card for that (i.e. one liked knitting so we got a gift card to a local store).

In the past, our room moms have collected money for an amex gift card. The room moms this year have declared no class gift, so I have zero idea what to give and to whom. We have a primary teacher and a support type teacher. Preschool is a few hours a day. We also have art, music, fitness, and something else for 30 minutes once a week. Should I still do amex gift cards? or do people usually do something like starbucks or target??
