Please don't forget to appreciate your preschool and daycare providers!! I still can't believe how inconsiderate parents can be to the person/people that takes care of their children all day, but it's sadly true!! The hours are extremely long and very stressful but to feel appreciated in even the smallest ways goes so far💯
Remember, they don't get the same days off and PTO that most jobs provide their employees. So if it's a holiday or your day off, it's okay to not bring your child and allow them that free day, or at least pick them up early instead of dropping them off for the entire day knowing you're just running around doing errands.
It's okay to bring a pack of diapers and wipes for the group (because I'm sure there's been times when they had to use someone else's diapers, or the ones they purchase themselves, on your child.) It's so appreciated for you to bring snacks or little crafts for the group (or LYSOL😊).
That can alleviate their pockets a little but also let them feel good to know that you think about them and how hard they work.
It's truly the small things that go the farthest.
Don't discount their business because it's ran out of their home. They probably work harder than you, longer than you, and make less than you. Show some love and appreciation in the ways that you can
