Daycare options
As many of the RS folks have gotten older and started a family of their own, I'm wondering what you did for your child regarding daycare.
What's your preference btwn GROUP vs FAMILY daycare?
I've checked out a handful of daycares, most of them being Chinese owned...
For me, my daughter getting a head start and learning English is very important. My wife and I both speak English and Cantonese at home.
Heres my dilemma:
Option #1: family daycare. Only speaks Cantonese and mandarin. They even teach how to write Chinese, which is nice. They learn to sing children's Chinese songs etc. They even provide 3 meals per day, of Chinese food. But no English exposure kind of bothers me.
Option#2: group daycare. Teaches standard stuff as any other daycare. Speaks in Cantonese and English to the kids. Sings traditional english nursery songs. HOWEVER, these songs are sung with a FOB accent...
*both daycares are licensed by either Fraser health or Vancouver coastal.
My daughter will be starting daycare at 1 years old and I'm having a hell of a hard time deciding.
I'm leaning towards option #1. But I'd kick myself in the face if she turned out being a FOB and/or picking up a fob accent.
Am I scaring myself? Should I be worried?
Would love to hear some experiences and/or insights.
