Hi everyone!
I have disappeared for awhile. I thought the forum was 'broken' and seriously just realized TODAY, that it was a browser issue.
Anyway,
Some of you may know I stopped daycare several years ago, and work a full time outside-the-home job, which I hate.
We have been through ups and downs with daycares. OMG. Don't even get me started. But anyway, I thought about so many different options to try to make a living, that don't involve a commute, and a job I hate. I don't know that I would really want to go back to daycare, unless I ONLY ever took kids ages 2-5, and we all know that most parents want a 'real' preschool and not an In-Home daycare/preschool setting.
So that's probably out.
I thought of a program I would call "Child Ride" and it would provide the following services:
1. Before/after school pickup from daycare or home and drop off at school, pick up from school and drop off at daycare or home.
2. Transportation for outside activities such as soccer practices or games (when parents can't be there), swim lessons, ballet, etc... (for a specific area)
3. Before/After or Holiday/Emergency drop-in care at a daily charge
Kinda Like Uber, but for kids who have insanely busy parents!
I would be fully insured/bonded/licensed.
Anyone ever do this before?
Good idea or bad idea?
Some of the daycares around here who have struggled with transportation have said they might be interested.
For those thinking "Do it" How much would I charge for each set of services?
For those thinking "Heck no", why?
Thanks for your feedback
