I believe it is quite common for both parents and children to feel a special bond with preschool teachers. These are the men and women who work with our children teaching them the skills that will prepare them for elementary school.

The child teacher ratio is lower in preschool than in elementary school and so one on one attention with both the child and the parent is very common.

As parents, we often want to say thank you with more than words. When the teacher has a birthday, or in December and again at the end of the school year, it’s quite common for parents to look for an appropriate gift to give to the teacher.

I have found many gifts over the years that all teachers seem to enjoy:

• A one year subscription to a magazine you know the teacher reads and enjoys.

• A gift certificate to any local restaurant for a nice meal out.

• A day where parents take over for ninety minutes, so that the teachers can have lunch together. If the teachers can not leave the building, prepare a nice lunch for them to eat outside the classroom.

• A basket filled with either coffees or teas depending on which the teacher enjoys.

• A gift certificate to the local book store. I’ve actually not met a teacher who does not enjoy reading.

• If you know the teacher enjoys going to the movies, purchase a gift card to the local movie theater.

• When my own children were in preschool, all of the parents donated funds for a piece of furniture for the classrooms. We then had each child from that school year place their handprint on the piece of furniture. Both times I was involved in this, the teachers loved it.

Preschool teachers are indeed very special people and deserve those extra special thank-yous.
