The school is around 7 km from home. Bus pickup would be early, but daily car drop will affect both our work schedules. Parents who started school transport at this age, what made you comfortable with it and what should we verify with the transport team? I would especially value recent experiences from the last one or two academic years.
Talk to parents with children already in the grade you are entering, not only parents from preschool. Homework and communication style can change a lot in primary classes. My spouse had a different view initially, so we tried it for a few weeks before deciding. The commute piece changed our final shortlist more than expected. We are in Pune, so local logistics may be a little different.

That makes sense. I think consistency is the part we are currently missing. I would still verify it with the school for the current academic year. Your child's response may be different, but this was our experience.
Thanks for saying this. Online advice often makes normal family life sound much more organised than it really is. I wish we had asked this before paying the registration amount. In our house, the practical routine mattered more than the ideal plan.
We tried something similar once, but probably gave up too early. How long did you continue before judging it? For us, the admission office answer and the parent answer were not always the same. In our house, the practical routine mattered more than the ideal plan.

Good to know — thank you for coming back with the detail. For us, the admission office answer and the parent answer were not always the same. We made the change gradually rather than all at once.
