arranging pick-up/drop-off transport to charter school

[Anonymous]

Several parents are trying to arrange a bus or van to take our young kids (ages 3-5) to school in the morning. (It's a charter that's far from our houses.) Does anyone have experience with this? Any companies/services to recommend?
Thank you.

You may want to go into the Stokes EE various posts. I believe parents from there are also doing this.

Do a search on this forum. This comes up every year.

OP here. Yep, I'm a Stokes East End parent and am involved with that group.

For that age range, I wouldn't suggest a service. Maybe a nanny who can use their employer's SUV or mini van.

elementary age kids at our private use one of the local kid oriented transportation services and they have had issues such as late pick ups, drivers not being the best dealing with kids, bad driving (speeding and slamming on breaks), etc. At least school age kids can report such issues.

Is Stokes a 'walk your child into school each day' charter?

Not sure they are set up for a driver to offload 3 or more students and get them settled.

Wow, if only there was a forum of parents, let’s call it “DC urban moms” or something that had years and years of charter parents who came before you. I bet if you used the search function in this magical place you’d find your answer.

But no, year after year after year the same question.

This was unnecessary. Why do you care?

And this response epitomizes the helpfulness of DCUM, doesn't it?

Exactly. I don't know why any of us come to each other for perspective. So many of the posters are just so vile and rude. Very rarely are the posters on here kind or helpful.

I would not do this unless there was a parent who'd accompany the kids every day.

Bus companies will require a monitor for kids that age so you’ll need to factor that into the cost.
