[quote=Anonymous]Changes my thoughts a bit (I wondered about this after I posted!), but it really comes down to logistics.  OTOH, if you can put the daycare money you're spending now toward a caregiver who can do pick-up and drop off and fill in the gaps, then maybe it's doable.  Do one or both of you work near the preschool -- i.e. if you can drop off and pick up closer to the beginning or end of the workday does that basically solve the problem or do you need someone to take your DC home?  Alternatively, are both school and home on public transit?

I'd be tempted (post-FA offer) to ask the school if they have a zipcode list of admittees (or just whether they can tell you if anyone in your neck o the woods might be joining the class so you can work together on logistics).  You might also ask whether there's a caregiver in the neighborhood of the school who does before/after care.  You won't be the first parent to have this issue, so if there's a common solution, the school may know what it is.  Another resource for finding a care-giver could be the neighborhood listservs (yahoogroups) near the school.  It's also possible that the school itself has a parent listserv (our PreK-12 school does) where you could post an inquiry.  [/quote]
