A kindergarten teacher spends almost as much time with children as their parents do and helps little ones take their first steps into social life. Families want to thank her at the kindergarten graduation, on Preschool Workers' Day, at New Year or on her birthday. Here are gift ideas from the group and individual families, for the teaching assistant, plus flowers, words of thanks and what to avoid.
Most valued: a joint gift from the group and children's heartfelt drawings.
How to choose a gift for a kindergarten teacher
As with schoolteachers, a joint gift from the whole group works best: parents chip in for one useful item and flowers, and the children prepare drawings or a card. Keep it modest and appropriate, as expensive gifts in state kindergartens may conflict with the rules and embarrass the teacher.
Gift ideas
From the group: a voucher for an appliance store, bookshop or spa, a useful home appliance, a photo book of the children's time at kindergarten or a video of the kids' greetings. A great idea is a gift for the group itself: educational games, books, craft sets or soft beanbags for future generations of children.
Don't forget the teaching assistant and the nursery nurse: they will also appreciate flowers, chocolates or a tea set. From a single family, a small bouquet, a nice mug with tea and the child's drawing are enough.
Flowers and words of thanks
Flowers are an essential addition. For a kindergarten teacher, choose bright, cheerful arrangements of hydrangeas, spray roses, chrysanthemums or gerberas. A small child should give a compact bouquet they can hold themselves. For card wording see our words of thanks, and for schoolteachers gift ideas for teachers.
