Nana's is a daycare with transportation: we run our own vans to take school-age children to and from school, once the transportation authorization form is completed. Which schools and areas are covered, and any cost, are for a person to answer — call either building.
Our own vans, not a third party
School-age care at Nana's runs before school, after school and on weekends, and transportation to and from school is available for enrolled children. We run our own vans — the ride is part of Nana's, not an outside service.
How to set it up
The transportation authorization form is available from the front desk; see our forms page.
What happens before and after school
Before school, children arrive, settle and get ready for the ride. After school, they come back to homework time, a meal and play with their own age group. School-age care is for children through 12 years. Read more about before and after school care.

A day with school transportation
Here is how a school day can run for a school-age child at Nana's: an early-morning drop-off before your shift, a calm start with their own age group, the van ride to school, the van ride back after school, homework time, a meal while in care, and play until you arrive. 43rd Ave is open 24 hours Monday through Saturday and Northern 5 AM to midnight, so the day fits early and late shifts alike.
