Will sending my kids to a predominantly white daycare negatively impact them ?
I live in Canada ( Quebec ) and have a 1 year old and a 2.5 year old that are biracial (black mom white dad). We currently live in a predominantly white neighborhood not because we wanted to but home ownership in the city was too expensive and in order to get a home we had to move out of the main city.
They currently attend a diverse daycare which I love but the cost is preventing us from getting ahead and having a quality of life, savings and so on. It is currently costing us 2000$ a month.
We got a call from a subsidized daycare which would cost 400 a month total for both kids. Financially we can't afford to not accept the spots. Having the extra money would really change our quality of life.
It's a nice daycare in a nice neighborhood. It's new with a big yard and I read really good reviews.What I hate is that there is very little diversity. Most of the educators are white as well as the kids. I know my kids are young but I really worry if it'll negatively impact them.
They would stay there until age 5 and my goal is to move to a more diverse area in the next few years after daycare or at least send them to a more diverse elementary school and high school.
