How to Write Thank You Cards for Child Care

Give your child care provider a heartfelt thank you card to show how much her service means to you and your child. Your child's caregiver provides guidance, life skills and a confidante outside of the family. Expressing gratitude to the person caring for your child in your absence demonstrates the value she has in your life.
