[quote=Anonymous]My older son went to an amazing preschool, and I'd love for my younger son to go there also.  The problem is that due to timing and location, I won't be able to get him there on time, ever.  The drop-off for my older son will require that I be about 10-15 minutes late with the younger one for preschool every morning.  Once he turns in the spring of next year, he could go to before care at the preschool, but he can't prior to that.  I could enroll my older son in before care at his elementary school, but I don't particularly want to pay the money or have him be in school for an even longer day when he already comes home exhausted (tell me if you think I should just do this anyway!).

The preschool said we could bring my kid late, even though it might be a bit disruptive.  They usually have free-play for a while at the beginning, so maybe it wouldn't be a huge deal?  Alternatively, he could go to a different preschool that starts later and be on time.  I don't love this school and have mixed feelings about it.  It seems decent, and we know people who have liked it, but it's not exactly what we'd ideally like.  It's a coop school for one thing, which means that there would be parents in the classroom who aren't trained teachers.  My older kid actually did a coop preschool for a short bit when he was younger, so I'm not unfamiliar with the concept, but I found a huge difference between that and his later preschool where the teachers were very well trained and educated in early childhood ed.

Any thoughts?  Go with the school we feel less enthusiastic about due to timing, or go with the great school despite timing issues?[/quote]
