We can contribute to a staff gift fund, which will then be divided amongst the staff. They've explicitly told parents not to send in anything with the child.

In home daycare provider and I get anything from a week's salary to nothing (not even a card!).

I did $600 (2 kids) for the main fund (split between all daycare employees based on hours worked) plus I think I'll do a $100 gift card (amazon or target) to the four teachers (2 per kid). I decided to up the daycare amount (vs last year) and eliminated Christmas presents to adult family members, which also saves me time. The daycare teachers are the only reason I'm still employed right now.

Don't get bonuses. Don't give bonuses. Some paid days off.

I always do $100 per teacher which was $400 total.

In home daycare and give a months tuition divided between 3 teachers. They never closed this year and really went above and beyond.

We are at an in-home with 3 providers. I’m giving $150 each.

I'm doing about the same as last year ($200) but also giving each of the two teachers (the only two because of covid restrictions) an individual cash gift in a card as well. It's so hard, and we so appreciate that they are in a really difficult situation this year and have made things as normal and stable as possible for the kids.

My daughter works in a daycare. Normally they get a $200 bonus in paycheck plus parents chip in.

This year getting zero from provider so parents going to try to do more. Hope so. It is hard work for low pay

We're doing 100 per teacher this year. Usually we give a little less but giving more due to the bigger risk they are taking this year.

We do 100 per teacher, which for us is 4 teachers for our two kids.

We give our in-home provider one week's pay at the holidays.

How much do you give?
