What do you do?
Our day care is in a culdesac. The back yard is up the main road (not a busy one) and the bus stop is right outside it. We put a gate there. So the kids just walk through the yard and through the gate. I can see them as they wait for the bus. In the mornings, the kindies go with the bigger kids. When the kindie bus drops off at lunch time, the driver watches the little ones go through the gate before he drives away and I watch through the window. The kids come in the back door.

Then when we play outside, we lock the gate to contain the littlest ones.

The school district used to have the bus stop further up the road, but they moved it to accomodate us which was great of them. Other parents liked the idea that I watch through the window as their kids are waiting for the bus. I yell if some kids think they can mess around!!
