My mum takes me to school everyday.

My mum accompanies me to everyday.
EVERYDAY is a one word here.
Everyday occurences take simple present tense..

If this is happening in the future, all these are grammatically fine.

However, #1 would imply that she is attending school with you. #2 and #3 say that she will come with you to the school but not to go to school.

In Peter's sentences, it will have to be every day =each and every day, not everyday as in everyday occurrence.
