How to get your kindergarten motivated for waking up for school?

I am having trouble getting my kiddo out of bed in the mornings. What do other parents do to help get their kiddo out of bed in the morning without all the stress?

My 5-year-old is in 1st grade. I just let her sleep in.

My oldest is not a morning person and waking up in the morning is a real struggle for her. I have found that making sure she gets to bed at a good time, usually between 7-7:30, helps a lot. Also, I try to give her a little time to wake up. I go in, turn the light on and some music that she likes and give her a several minutes to wake up before we jump into the day.
