[quote=Anonymous]Two of our preschools handled it differently. At one, parents would take a few kids and staff who did not drive. (I was not a fan of this so I only took staff except for one child whom I was friends with the parent) and at another they rented buses and had parents volunteer. It is a bit strange for them to have all the parents transport their child. I don't really consider that a field trip but organized school trip. Its fine to decline if you need to work. The point of your child being in child care is so you can work. At our last one, there were several of us (some grandparents) who consistently were able to go (only a few of us were SAH) and otherwise some parents went on some, some went on others, some not at all. A few times, 1-2 kids commented they'd like their parent there but it was easily handled but redirecting them and saying lets text time a picture (I was friends with the parents). It made parent and child happy. Problem solved.[/quote]
