    I am in a bind! My child will be in Kindergarten. The kids get out at 3:25. I can't get there untill 3:35. Is that to late? What have the rest of you done in order to be able to pick up your kids and work? HELP!

    Thanks!

    Is there an after school care program at the school that your child could attend? What about working on sharing the pick up duties with other parents?

    Depending on the school, the Kindergarten teachers usually are required to wait with the kids and I really don't think 10 minutes is asking too much. My experience (12 years) also tells me that 3:25 dismissal is much closer to 3:35 dismissal than 3:25! However, it really doesn't give you much time for those "life happens" events that will surely cause you delay at some point over 9 months. Soon enough after the first day (or prior - you're already starting!) you will find out what your classmates are doing after school and will find a way to make it work. YOU may be someone else's answer to their problem because 3:35 is pretty much there on time! The other thing my experience tells me is that somehow it does all work out - it's not always first choice, and sometimes you have to try a couple things before you get it right, but it will be okay. I know I haven't really offered a solution but hope my words can add to your gathering of info.

    BEST OF LUCK!!
