My son is in a 2/3 year old preschool class and has 1 teacher and 1 assistant that is there Monday, Wednesday and Friday and another assistant that is there only on Wednesday. Should we get a gift for all 3 or only the 2 that are there everyday?
Thanks for your help!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Got all 3 small gifts. We are taking them in tomorrow. I did get both assistants the same thing.
Thanks for the help!

My suggestion- get the teacher a little bit bigger gift and the assistants each a $5 gift card. I teach PE at an elementary school and I'm often forgotten, but even a $5 gift card makes me feel special and appreciated :)

I would get for all 3 if your son is there each of those days. Maybe something a little smaller for the assistant that is only there on Wednesday.

All 3. Especially if you are giving the gifts on a Wednesday.

I would give all 3 a gift. If you bought 2 gifts it would be just your luck that the 3rd teacher would be around LOL!!! You know how stuff can go sometimes.

I normally give a smaller gift (candy and card)to our shorter term teachers and a larger gift to the kids main teachers. My favorite gift for teachers and any busy mom is the One Trip Tote. It's a unique and clever take on a carryall. It's large, horizontal and stays open. Grat for toting around everything they need for the day. It collapses so they can keep it handy anywhere. It's so multifunctional... Beach, pool, shopping, laundry, farmers markets, outdoor concerts and picnics. Even great just to organize your trunk or keep at the bottom of stairs for bringing things up and down. Great price point too. It's my favorite thing and favorite gift idea. Good luck!

Hi, I personally would get something for all 3. The teacher obviously gets the biggest though! My son is in preschool, and he only has the teacher and 1 aide, so I did a $20 and a $10 for the aid. Maybe you can either do another $10 or a candle, or something?

good luck!

Definitely get a gift for all of them. Gift certificates to Borders or Barnes and Noble or Starbucks always seem to be appreciated.
