    I live in a small town that is made up of all white french farmers, so most of the kids I get are white. My 7 yr old has a friend (not best friend but a good friend) that lives 5 houses down and she is biracial, alex never talks about her color, she just tells me how bad she is at school. My kids have different races that go to their school and my kids are friends with them. My kids don't care what color you are as long as you want to play with them. Its sad that parents are so prejudice.

      I think that's terrible that someone would seek out and have a one-race daycare. I can see if they geared their program more toward a Hmong/Muslim/etc. for comfort sake, but to discriminate is just plain wrong.

      My daycare is all white but that's only because I live in a predominantly white town. I've interviewed with one African American mom who didn't go with me, but I doubt it was a race issue.

        I know, it's terrible and I think the kids in their care are at a disadvantage.

          It's funny when I take all of the kids out together. I'm a blue eyed redhead, my children all are blue eyed blondes. DCC are all hispanic. People will stop and ask if they are all mine, then look more closely and realize that only half look like me. But I hug and yell at all of them the same! ::
          I would not look for an exclusive race daycare for my own children. I would look for a provider that fits with my kids, no matter what she/he looked like. I can understand that some people are more comfortable with others from the same culture, but I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other.

            When I first opened, my kids were the only white kids for a good while, didnt think anything of it until my dd got lice, and I was glad the kids were all African American! In my kids' elem school, my kids are the minority as there are alot of hispanic and Indian children. Ehhhhh, who cares!
