What sort of gifts should I give to my child´s providers?

Gift Giving

Instead of giving gifts individually, the best things to do is to give individual cards to show your appreciation to each provider, but give a single gift certifiate to the centre itself which can be used to buy something they really need. One such gift certificate was used by staff at a centre I know of to buy a battery powered light to go over the changing table in the toddler room, meaning they could change diapers without waking up the whole room which made it easier on the staff and benefitted the children. Daycare centres are often poorly funded and while clean, bright and even modern, tread a very fine financial line, so giving in this way is a real boost. I would suggest a gift certificate to someplace like Wal Mart or other variety discount store so they can have a wide choice over what to buy.
