September 27 is National Preschool Educator and Caregiver Day in Russia. For parent committees, it is the first major celebration of the school year. Organizing a thoughtful gift for two teachers and an assistant caregiver without heated chat debates is easily done with clear plans.

Short answer: A modest contribution of 200–400 RUB per family comfortably covers gift cards (2,000–3,000 RUB each) for both educators plus flowers and a sweet gift for the assistant caregiver. Announce the plan 10–14 days in advance to avoid last-minute rush.
