What Do Providers Give Their Families for the Holidays?

I personally wouldnt get everyone a gift maybe just the kiddos or the little girl that you watch and then get a family gift!! Like maybe gift cards so the whole family can go to the movies or to a bowling alley or somthing fun like that!

I like the idea below about having the child make a gift such as an ornament for the family. I'm sure the families would treasure it forever.

I am a childcare provider, and in the past I have purchased a gift only for the child in my care. However, I do give the family a gift of holiday baked goods. Usually it's something small that I can put in a cute box or tin like fudge, buckeyes, chocolate covered goodies, etc...

Good luck and Happy Holidays!

I would think for a "family" type gift you could have the little girl make a christmas ordament or something, that is what I've always gotten from my provider when my son was younger...and I have still have each and everyone that we put on our tree. That would be something they could keep.

You could give them a gift card to a restaurant. I am not sure what your budget is, but any amount would help their bill anyway ! Good Luck !

How about so many days of watching her for free? You could make a coupon book or something?
