Any chance there's a mom or other person looking to make a little extra money to help you out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1648133 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:38:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1648133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: maybe it is worth a look, because the options all seem just so ....tedious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1648103 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:16:35 +0000 regberadaisy 1648103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CupQuakeWalk: I guess I've never looked into that daycare to make a decision? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1648092 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:13:53 +0000 Cole 1648092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it financially worth it to hire a sitter to do the drive for you? Potentially even a mom from the prek would be interested in the extra spending cash for doing the drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1648081 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:08:40 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1648081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: so, there is no way you'd consider just putting her in the daycare affiliated with the school? That is our plan. We have LO in a daycare we love. But, in exactly 1 year, he will go to the pre-school at another place and it ends at 11:45am. He will then go to *their* daycare and we will leave our current place. I actually LIKE the idea of him being in daycare with the kids from his "school" for the remainder of the day. Our friends (who already go there and recommended it) said that most if not all the kids stay for daycare directly after school, so they continue to socialize (which for a sahm like me, is the whole point behind sending him). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1648005 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:39:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1648005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: yup, that's what I mean. The one that does it for our zone elementary isn't one we take LO to. So dd1 would be at a different daycare from dd2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1647997 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:37:32 +0000 sandy 1647997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know some daycares around here have shuttle buses and will do pick up and drop off at the major schools </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1647990 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:34:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1647990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have Uprek, but last year C was part time and nanny picked her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1647985 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:32:51 +0000 mrsjazz 1647985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully we get into universal pre-k. We are planning on trying for another kid next year, so we're thinking that if we continue with a nanny for second LO, then we'd have her pick up LO from school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/half-day-u-prek-pick-up-amp-ft-wohp#post-1647933 Tue, 20 May 2014 19:08:19 +0000 regberadaisy 1647933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those with kids in U-Prek (or soon to be!) what are your plans for pick up if you both work FT?</p> <p>Our zoned elementary school's UPrek is only half day. We both work FT. And their daycare affiliation is not one we take LO to. So the idea of stopping work mid day to pick up and drop off at daycare seems like a hassle to me for the free portion.<br /> My mom said we should ask my ILs to watch her the rest of the day! LOL </p>
