[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired Teaching PCS has a Kiss & Go line but it's *recommended* for K and up. Some PreK will go in with older siblings, but it's not recommended for those who cannot unbuckle and get out of the car themselves. So for younger kids or parents who wish to walk children in, there is plenty of neighborhood parking on side streets within 2 blocks.

3 year olds also need to be signed in to class or before care, so consider that parking, walking, signing, returning to car, could take 10 -20 minutes.[/quote]

OP here-- 20 minutes?  Ayyyy!  We live close enough to Inspired Teaching so I would be ok with that, but 20 minutes at a school that is farther away would not be doable.  [/quote]

Think about it this way:

You drive to school (excluding this time because I have no idea how far you live from the schools). You find a place to park your car 2 blocks from the school. You then have to get your 3yo out of the car and walk those 2 blocks (5 minutes). You get to school and walk your child to their classroom (2 minutes). You help your child sign in and get settled (5 minutes). You walk back to your car (5 minutes). That's almost 20 minutes right there. Most of the time is going to be gobbled up by tiny legs getting to school and by getting your kid into their classroom. If my experience is similar to your experience, the time it takes you to help your kid get settled will decrease as they become more comfortable at school, but for the first year at least, it'll probably still take you 10-20 minutes to drop off, even if you're in a kiss-n-ride situation (because there will be a line of other people doing the kiss-n-ride).[/quote]
