It’s strange how much a daycare teacher becomes part of your everyday story. The one who knows your kid’s snack preferences, the one who ties tiny shoes faster than anyone else. These thank you messages for daycare teachers are good ways to say what usually goes unsaid.

Thoughtful Ways to Say Goodbye to a Daycare Teacher
It’s strange packing up his cubby for the last time. You taught him songs I still catch myself humming.

Light-hearted Messages About the Sweet Things Your Child Says
Take the idea and build it on your child’s special story:
He said you smell like sunshine and glue sticks. That tracks.
She asked if you live at school, and I didn’t have the heart to say no.
He said you can fix everything, even the broken crayon I threw away.
Apparently, you’re the “boss of snack time,” and that’s high praise around here.
She thinks you have a secret button that makes everyone nap. Can you share that trick?
He told me you know the “alphabet of feelings.” I wish I did.
You’ve been the hero in every story she tells after lunch.
She said she wants to grow up and “be the teacher with stickers.” You’ve made an impression.
He insists you can read minds. Based on how you handle mornings, maybe he’s right.
Thank You Messages to a Preschool Teacher from a Student
Teaching children to express gratitude from a young age is an important life skill. Encourage your child to say thank you to their teacher in their own words. It can be as simple as, “Thank you for always making me laugh.”
Thank you for teaching me how to tie my shoes!
I loved storytime with you!
I like when you draw cats with me. Yours always have better whiskers.
You make storytime sound like a movie.
You gave me extra glue when mine ran out, even when I said I didn’t need it.
You let me be the line leader, even when I forgot where we were going.
You laugh at my jokes, even the ones that don’t make sense.
You help me zip my jacket even though I try to do it “by myself.”
I like when you say “good job” even when my rainbow has six colors instead of seven.
You said “tomorrow” when I asked if we’d play again, and that made today better.
You remember my favorite cup for milk time. That’s important.
I want to be a teacher too, but only if I can do snack time like you.
