    Do you give your students holiday gifts? I’ve gone back and forth over the years, and truly it depends on the group. Some classes work their way into my heart and I want to give them gifts, other groups need a little something special from me because I know that they may not have the greatest holiday season otherwise. On the other hands, I know that some groups won’t appreciate anything that I give them and it’ll end up in the trash. It is what it is.

    Gifts for Preschoolers 2024

    Preschoolers really start to have opinions about what they want for Christmas, which can make the holidays feel a little more expensive.
