Everyone likes to be acknowledged and appreciated. Let your child's teacher know how much you are grateful for what they do for your child.
There are plenty of low-cost and no-cost ideas, so get creative and have fun.
Staff of childcare facilities should act, dress, and speak professionally. It is a sign of quality and should be what you expect for your child.

My child is sick and can't go to childcare and I still have to pay!
