However, it takes 10-15 minutes just to find parking, especially with all the traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842910 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 12:49:23 +0000 skibobrown 1842910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-minute walk or 2-minute drive from our house. We often drive b/c we drop off/pick up on our way to/from work. On days when I work from home I like to walk though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842866 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:46:01 +0000 californiadreams 1842866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-7 minute drive from home depending if I catch the red light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842859 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 11:31:05 +0000 Silva 1842859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 20 minutes from home, and about 10 from work. More with traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842777 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 09:03:28 +0000 lady grey 1842777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm mostly SAH so LO only goes to daycare once a week. It's a 15 min drive(in the wrong direction!) from our house. Then I have to double back and basically drive past our house to continue on to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842719 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 07:33:45 +0000 Anagram 1842719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread depresses me since I've jist switched LO from a day care 1.5 blocks from our house to a day care near my work, which is a 50 minute drive away.</p> <p>Also, my LO hates the car seat so she screams at least 30 of those minutes. Not good for my blood pressure and not a pleasant way to start each day....but at least im saving almost $1000/month.</p> <p>Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842715 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 07:29:36 +0000 singingbee 1842715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15-20 minute drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842707 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 07:26:11 +0000 Pancakes 1842707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her school moved from the end of our block to a new location two miles away, so it will be about a 10 minute drive.

Was just doing a daycare search in our area and was trying to figure out how far I would go from our home... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842427 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 18:08:09 +0000 sandy 1842427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: haha! I just checked too and her school is 1.7 miles away - 3 minute drive. A big reason we went with the school is bc of how close it is to our place </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842389 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 16:59:02 +0000 daniellemybelle 1842389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 7-10 minute drive but it has turned into an hour because we leave early so she will take a nap in the car before school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842244 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 14:03:51 +0000 Ajsmommy 1842244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 minute drive, in our community but a few miles away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842238 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:57:22 +0000 Dandelion 1842238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minute drive.

And it is the opposite direction from my work. But we love his daycare so it is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842155 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:09:12 +0000 nana87 1842155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She hasn't started yet, but It's just under a mile, takes about 15-20 to walk. It's 2 stops on the subway or a short bus ride if weather is bad. My university is in between our apt and daycare so I'll prob work on campus rather than home on days she's there to reduce walking time! Like, it's 2 blocks from the library </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842148 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:04:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1842148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's just across the street! It takes a few minutes... but J is a professional dawdler so it always takes longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842145 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:03:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1842145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daycare and work ( only 3 blocks apart) are 6 miles or about 25 minutes from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842140 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:01:32 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1842140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could walk to daycare. It's about a 10-15 min drive locally.. so depends on how many lights I get stopped at. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842139 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 13:01:02 +0000 Smurfette 1842139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1/2 mile at most </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842109 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:27:08 +0000 Grace 1842109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will be 1 mile away.

We pass our old house on the way! It used to be a 5 minute drive. Still worth it though. </p> <p>When Wagon Jr. starts kindergarten next year (gulp!) his school is about a mile from our house, on the way to the daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-is-your-daycare-commute#post-1842016 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 11:14:05 +0000 Applesandbananas 1842016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a 10 minute drive... In the opposite direction as work :( </p>
