"I'm think I'll do one general thank you card that they can tack up, and maybe small gift cards for the individual teachers. Thanks for all the great advice, and for the welcomes.

I was an infant and toddler teacher for nearly 10 years, and I would agree with everyone else and say not to worry about the notice. As far as gifts, even a small gesture like a card for all the teachers, something to let them know you…"
Mommy Monster replied to 4 Strings's discussion 'How to Say Goodbye to a Good Daycare'"Welcome to the hive, 4Strings. You'll like it here. :)
I echo the comments about not feeling bad and a nice token/gesture. Bake some cookies and have your son draw a picture of him with his teacher or something like that. Warm hugs goodbye are…"
"Hey, T!
We've left many daycares as we've moved around, and each time we leave each teacher who's touched our child's life with a sincere thank you card with a mention of some specific way they've each helped Big O. The…"
"Howdy! Are you local to HBD? If so, we're neighbors, too.
If you'd like to get them a gift, I think that would be nice, but not at all necessary. Maybe something that's a group gift, like a treat basket they can enjoy on breaks. And…"
kanachick replied to 4 Strings's discussion 'How to Say Goodbye to a Good Daycare'"I've never used a daycare but I thought that two weeks notice was pretty standard for everything. I don't think you should feel awkward about giving that kind of notice.
I think if you feel up to it a nice letter of appreciation from you…"

Hello, all. A friend referred me to this site a few months ago (hey, HBD ;-) and I lurked on and off for a while, but this is my first post.My question:My son is moving up from daycare to preschool. He has been there for a long time, and they're very sad to say goodbye to him, but we're leaving on somewhat awkward terms because we gave only 2 weeks notice.I'd like to do something to show the teachers that we genuinely appreciated our time there. Should I bring flowers? Small gifts for each of…See More

- The first week in existence, Pajiba.com gave a shout out to this new parenting site filled with funny blogs. Hubby and I both tried Offsprung, but he petered out and began to live vicariously through me. I've been here the whole time, as the columns slowly dissappeared and we were left with a close-knit community of smart & funny people all over the world (we've got Aussies and Canucks!). This format is brand-new, the old site fell apart after a major virus attack.
