At A Crossroads in my daycare.. .

Is she going to be half days? I know that other people I know that have to do half day pick ups will play at a playground beforehand, then pick the child up, or find a play group or early years centre near the school, and pick the child up on the way home, kinda thing. You don't have to cut nap short, just try and find a way to modify the schedule.

If the mom's cool with the 8th grader doing pick up and drop off, then it's a non issue. Hope it goes your way!

I have the same situation and I am thinking of asking one of my daycare Mom's to take mine (it's my daughter) and I will take away the fee off her pay. I'm thinking $10.00 a day is fare for drop off and pick up. She will be going every other day and alternate Friday's. So at $10.00 a day times ten times a month thats $100.00 off her fees. Do you have any other mom's with school age kids?

That would be a GREAT idea. I'm not all for full day kindergarten but it would make this issue better. She will only be half day and I don't have any parents that would be dropping off or picking up at either of the times required.
