I'm having trouble with picking a preschool for LO because daycare is so convenient - about an 8 minute walk.

DH and I commute in different directions so any distance from home adds complications. I'm driving about 90 minutes a day now. Even 10 minutes is precious in the morning and evening when we're fighting traffic and pick up times. I'm thinking preschool can't be more than 5-6 minutes out of our way. That will add 10-12 minutes of driving and pick up to the current routine.

The preschool I was planning to send LO to just moved about 20 minutes away. Many parents are still planning to enroll there but even though it's my commute direction it will add about 15 minutes which rules it out for me.

Wondering if I'm limiting my search a lot more than other parents.
