Daycare Moms...again

With the holiday fast approaching, I'm curious about gifts for my dd's daycare teacher(s).  Are you "supposed" to give a gift to the teacher at Christmas time?  My dd's class has a teacher and an aide.  Do you give gifts to both the aide and the teacher or just the teacher?  Then there's the owner and the director, do they receive gifts as well?  (the owner and director sometimes assist during lesson time)  If yes, do you have any good gift ideas?  TIA.

I consider the main daycare teachers in the same kind of class as elem. teachers, scout leaders, etc. for gifting.  I liked having kids help me make gifts for these people, like cookie mix in a jar, pumpkin bread, decorated gloves or tree ornaments or small plants, etc.

It never occurred to me to gift the daycare owner/director, though.  I figure the tuition was enough.

Yep. Standard rule of thumb is that one does not tip the business owner. I think this applies for holiday gifts too unless the owner is so involved that you are inspired to include them on the cookie list.
