Daycare Parking Lot Snow Removal

What This Service Involves

Daycare lots see a concentrated rush of parents carrying small children and car seats, which makes even a thin Puget Sound ice layer a genuine danger. Our crews plow the parking and drop-off lane before the morning arrival window, keeping the path from car to door clear for adults with full hands. We deice the entrance and the striped crossing where little ones walk, since children slip easily and move without warning. Because daycares open early, we finish before the first parents arrive and check the lot again ahead of the afternoon pickup rush.

Benefits

Parents carrying children cross a cleared, deiced path to the door; drop-off lanes stay open for a smooth morning arrival rush; child crossing zones are treated where little ones walk; early finishes beat the first arrivals at opening; afternoon checks keep the lot safe for pickup

Our Process

1) Map the drop-off lane, entrance, and crossing zones with daycare staff; 2) Plow parking and the drop-off lane before opening; 3) Deice the entrance and striped child crossings; 4) Recheck and re-treat the lot before the afternoon pickup rush

What Affects the Cost

Size of the lot and drop-off lane; early opening time dictating the clearing window; crossing zones needing child-safe treatment; number of daily arrival and pickup rushes; deicer chosen for areas with small children

Best Time of Year

Daycare lots across Western Washington face peak snow demand from December through February, when early-morning freezes meet drop-off times.
