Do you see more moms or dads doing pickup? I see a lot of dads at drop off. It's probably 75% dads and 25% moms doing drop off in the morning. I'm not sure if that happens as much in the afternoon.

I think it's pretty mixed at drop off, but way more moms at pick-up.

Good question! There are definitely a lot of dads, but I thiiiink it might be an even split. Hard to tell!

Split between moms and grandparents. Not too many dads at pick up and drop off in my LO's class, but I do see a lot of dads in the other classrooms.

It's a good split. As far as I know, we are the only ones who have both mom and dad doing drop-off/pick-up.

It's mostly moms but there are a few SAHDs at our preschool. We are one of two families that are bringing everyone to drop off and pickup since DH is a SAHD and I'm on maternity leave. I'm not sure what the situation is with the other family--maybe they work from home?

It's mostly moms, I only ever see the dads at the birthday parties, lol.

It's a real mix at our daycare. In our family I do most drop offs and DH does most pick ups.

I think mostly moms and some dads at pick-up. My DH said he sees only dads doing drop-off in the morning!

It's pretty mixed at our center and a lot of the time, both parents are present. For us, DH does drop off and we both do pick up.
ETA: Don't really see any grandparents doing daily pick-up/drop off, but have seen them attend for little performances/holidays.

It's pretty even at our place. Maybe slightly more moms, but I see a good amount of dad's too!
I rarely see grandparents unless the mom recently had a baby or something came up.

50/50/100 - We're the weirdos that pick up together quite often. I do pickup since DH works until 6:15 or so. But he works from home and a lot of days he's ready for a 15 minute walk break when I go to pick up the kids. I have no idea what DCP thinks we're doing.

@BandDmommy: the only time i've seen a grandparent is when i knew the parents just had another baby. and i imagine will help with pick up and drop off in a few weeks too.

Slightly more moms? But it's pretty even I think! I only see parents maybe 1x a week though. I typically am the only one whenever I go.

@oliviaoblivia: yes, same thing. Lots of dads in the morning and more moms in the afternoon.

A mix, mostly moms though. In our family, I do two days of drop off/pick up and my husband does one day just based on our work schedules. While he was unemployed we went together most days.

50/50 ... There are a few parents who both do dropoff (because they carpool). Then a few who mom does dropoff and dad does pickup (or vice versa). I do both by myself.
