My husband drops off between 8-9, and I pick up at 3pm.

We split drop off and pickups. We leave home between 8:30 and 8:45 and drop off sometime between 8:45 and 9. We pick up at 6. Our daycare is open 8a - 6p. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff/page/2#post-2826738 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 11:19:45 +0000 alphagam84 2826738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave between 7:45 &amp; 8 each morning.

DC opens at 7, but I often leave slightly later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826652 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 04:25:05 +0000 meadow 2826652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The plan is to put them into the car at 6 so we can be pulling out of the garage at 6:05 and drop off at 6:30, and I get to work about 6:45.</p> <p>In reality, we are out of the house anywhere between 6 and 6:20(yikes!). </p> <p>DC opens at 6:30 and we have fun dropping off as they literally open. There are about 6 families dropping off at opening exactly and we are all so friendly with each other.</p> <p>We actually had a good laugh around Easter when DC had a Saturday event that started at 10am......the same group of families was the first to arrive at 10am on the dot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826647 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 02:24:44 +0000 Kemma 2826647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was working and both kids were at preschool we would leave just before 0800, arrive at 0805 and I would start the drive to work at 0815 to start at 0845. Once my big girl was at school we would leave home at 0800, leave preschool at 0815 to be at school by 0830 then I would start the drive to work at 0845 and start at 0915. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826628 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:19:07 +0000 crazydoglady 2826628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I should drop off at 7:15, but I am usually closer to 7:30 and it takes me about 15 minutes to be in my classroom from daycare. Daycare is about 3 minutes from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826627 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:15:43 +0000 Grace 2826627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH tries to leave at 8 for drop-off around 8:15. Then I pick up around 4:45. Once DD starts school, he’ll walk her to school for 8:15, and I’ll have to take DS to daycare. Not sure how it’s going to work since I’m supposed to start work at 8 AM. I’m hoping to ask for a schedule change and maybe get away with dropping him off at 7:45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826624 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:00:12 +0000 Dahlia 2826624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@codeitall: We aim to leave by 8:50 to drop her off at 9, most of the time we don't drop her off until 9:20 or later though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826612 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 21:07:03 +0000 travellingbee 2826612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t do daycare drop off because they don’t open until 7:30 and my contract time starts at 7:45.

Daycare is about 20/30 minutes from our house. He is self employed so has a flexible schedule. I do pick up around 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826606 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:29:40 +0000 lamariniere 2826606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When both kids were in daycare, I would drop off sometime between 8-8:30. When my older LO started school I would take him and my DH did drop off for DD and they left around 7:45/8:00. That was when daycare was a 2 minute walk from our apartment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-leave-for-daycare-dropoff#post-2826604 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 20:25:01 +0000 nana87 2826604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually leave the house between 7:45-8, and pick up around 5:30.
