As a parent I wouldnt' want my child out that long to run from stop to stop - not because of the weather as much as the required sitting time. It really cuts into the day in terms of playtime for a child to be "busy" doing a morning bus run which can be an hour from start to dress to drop off to home again and undressed for play meaning instead of running around they are sitting in a wagon/stroller/car. Then they come home and have circle time, snack, etc. - sounds like a great day except they are not moving around enough doing their own things so that would really turn me off. To extend the time to do a second trip or add on to the first trip makes it even harder to meet the needs of everyone for morning naps, longer afternoon naps etc. But that is just me and glad I no longer do the bus runs. It is a lot of work and turmoil in the daycare routine for the little amount of money you get for it. Even a younger child two days a week pays more than a b/a child with less hassle.
