Friday will be the last day of daycare for both OE and WA. OE has been at his current small center daycare for a year. At Christmas and at the beginning of summer we gave small gifts to the three teachers in his school. Should I give another gift on Friday?
WA has only been at his current home daycare for a month. Do I give a gift on Friday?
I wanted to take two of my employees to lunch this week but it doesn’t look like the schedule will allow it. Now what? Get them a small gift? Don’t do anything?

Honestly? if it was me, I wouldn’t be buying any gifts or taking people to lunch…but that’s just me. I’d be friendly until my last day and then say adieu.

No daycare gifts for OE since gifts were just given in summertime. For WA, I would if I was in your shoes, especially if you liked the teacher. That’s just me. For the employees–if you liked them and had a special working relationship (one you cared about?) maybe get them something small. Otherwise, don’t sweat it. Maybe bring in something for breakfast–bagels/coffee or something if you really want to do something nice.
Good luck!

I don’t think it’s necessary to do gifts for the daycare people. I’m a teacher and I don’t expect them when my kids leave. It’s nice when the kids themselves are old enough to make a card…but not necessary. As for your work thing…I think I’d just bring in breakfast. I second that idea.
Congrats…you’re almost there!

What did you decide to do? Colt’s last day of daycare is Friday and I have the same question!
