My almost 3.5 year old daughter started the same full day preschool program as our next door neighbour's son. She loves his parents and our families have become quite close over the past 6 months we have gotten to know one another.

We originally planned to carpool - using our car, his mom would drop them off and i would pick them up. We did drop offs together for the first week. We attempted to have the mom do the drop off (in our car) but she was bawling so hard that DH ended up going with them.

I know it's a lot of change for her - she was at home with me and LO2 for 3 months, it's a new school (she was in daycare previously), and there's probably something about having your parents drop you off. She is totally fine when i drop her off - no tears, just good-bye and off to play with toys.

Right now i'm fine with doing the dropoffs because i'm on mat leave, but i really want this to work once i go back to work in a couple of months. Do you think it's too young to have someone else do drop offs? Would your kids be fine with it? Any advice?
