Help with situation..

If you have a kid in preschool or K-12 how is your schedule in the mornings or after school? When DS starts preschool it'll be from 9-12 (dont know if i'll do 2 or 3 days). I make my own work schedule so I can drop him off in the morning and then head to work, but I would obviously need someone to pick him up and watch him until I get off work.

Since he was 12 weeks I have had the sweetest lady who watches him 4x a week and my mom the other day. Most days I am at work at 6am and she comes over around 8:30 and picks him up (So my mom wakes up with him). She'll keep him late if needed, keeps him overnight if I close at work and then open, she is amazing. I pay her $220 a week which is the same range as a daycare in my area.

So I obviously do not want to pay for her to watch him 4 days and also pay for preschool. i want to put him in preschool at 3  for the social interaction and to learn.

 I guess I am trying to ask how you do it without a SO around to help without it costing a fortune?
