I have 2 daughters in JK and SK. School pick up/drop offs were the bane of my existence. We live about 15 min walk away. Pushing 4 or 5 other dck's in a multi stroller, all up hill became a 30min + walk. Never mind when the frigid, brutal winter months kicked in. Last year at this time we hired a driver, a mature woman who does drop offs and pick ups. This year she retired so we hired another mom who drives to school anyway. Life saver for me. And I don't have to wake the kiddos early from nap and rush in the morning and afternoon to get my girls from school.
I'm not sure if your car insurance will cover your daycare children. You might have to get a different or add on insurance if you are transporting daycare children. Anyone know?
