Picking up child off the bus and OTHER daycare kids???

[apples and bananas]

Yes.. things happen with busses. They get delayed, they have to go back to the school because someone missed it, they break down and have to wait until another bus comes to pick up.

It's best to keep the kids with you.

My bus stop is directly in front of my house so I can just stick my head out the front door, waive at the driver and out come my kids.

Did you think of calling the bus company? Sometimes they will move the bus stop for you. Safety is their number one priority and if you can prove that the stop is not safe then they will change it for you. It's worth a shot.

My bus stop was origionally down the street and around the corner, but there isn't a sidewalk and very little shoulder. I called and complained and I got a spot in front of my house.

Best of luck, I'm sure you'll make it work.

OMG! Thank you for this! I am going to call my son's bus company today! He just started Jk and we take him to and from the bus stop...it is about a block and a half, so not bad, but there is no sidewalk or safe place to put the stroller with the other kids while getting him off of the bus. I had thought of asking them to move the stop because of my daycare, but had never thought about the safety aspect. I think I will still take the kids out with me to drop him off and pick him up though as we have to go about 5 minutes early in the morning because it sometimes comes a bit early and we miss it...same kind of thing in the afternoon. But at least if they could come in front of my house, I could keep them strapped in the stroller in the open garage in inclement weather Fingers crossed!
