My son started preschool in September and has settled wonderfully and really enjoys going every day. This has come as a huge surprise as he had a lot of seperation anxiety issues when younger.
I am in no doubt that him settling do well is down to his teacher making him feel so secure and creating a very warm and happy environment.
I am quite a shy person and not one for chitchat so I have never actually had a full conversation with his teacher. I will say hello but not alot more unless she has something to hand over about my son which isn't often. She is fairly newly qualified and from what I have seen she is great with the children and is very dedicated and hard working.
My son has made her a bauble and card for Xmas. I was also thinking of popping in a card with a note in to say thank you so much for her hardwork and that is is much appreciated. Also mention how grateful I am that she has helped my son settle in so well.
However, is this a bit over kill? Should I just find some confidence and tell her to her face how much I appreciate her. Will she think it's odd how a random parent who has never really spoken to her is now sending her a special note?! Thoughts please. I know it's not the most important issue in the world but I'm just wondering others thoughts.
