[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anyway you can stagger your schedules so one can do drop off and one can do pick up? I feel you on the drowning in costs. We have twins so 2 in private preschool (12k/year) twice a week plus a fulltime nanny around (45k/year). We're giving up our nanny this summer and sending our kids to a fulltime preschool/daycare which will cost us 3k a month. I'm looking forward to the extra money. [/quote]

OP this is my exact scenario just about ... my two in private elementary don't have the option for public right now due to some issues but maybe they will soon. But what will you do when they are sick PP? what is your back up plan? [/quote]

I think this depends on OP's job flexibility/sick leave plan (for example, I get a lot of sick time and I can use it for my child, so this isn't a huge issue) and[b] honestly, how well her children typically are.[/b]

I stayed at home until I started Kindergarten and I made it from K to 6 with perfect attendance. Not because I went to school sick, but because...I just didn't get sick much and my mom was pretty aware of this by the time I was 5 or 6. Obviously an extreme case, but you get the drift.

Oddly, this is a good point. My kids hardly ever get sick. I don't think they missed any days last year at all and same with the year before. One did miss a day this year so far. Of course this could change but they are in 1st and 4th with full time daycare before that and sick days haven't been even close to an issue.[/quote]
