[quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine you'll be walking there. The schools I have visited do not allow strollers to be stored, so you would have to bring the stroller back with you if you went that route. I would expect a 10 minute drive. However, note that on another thread (the "what factors are you weighting as you make your decisions" thread), one parent said that you should at least double the estimated time to drive/bus/metro to a school, to account for walking to/from bus/metro/car, parking, getting the kid in the carseat, etc. This made us really rethink our rankings with respect to convenience. We ended up ranking our in-boundary school and others right around us (none of which is a good school) higher than we otherwise would. Getting around with a preschooler is hard. There are a few charters we applied to and if we got in (highly unlikely) we would probably move closer to the charter, assuming we liked it.[/quote]
