Is there a bus service that would take her to and from school? It will be a huge slog for you, especially if both of you plan on working once she's at school - so that is something to factor in as well - how would you be able to work the travel time in around work. We have to drive 42km one way once a week for preschool but once they turn 4 I can put them on the school bus (dedicated school bus) We haven't been able to justify more than 1 day a week at preschool because of the travel costs it would involve.
