Thanks for everyone in sharing their experiences and thoughts towards my daycare question and learning English.
As my daughter is turning 1 in Sept, I'm going to start her with option 1; and will move her into a English dominant daycare just before her 3td birthday (if we get accepted into one).
I know growing up here in BC she will for sure learn English, but I want her to have proper English (grammar l, pronunciation etc)
I know lots of Canadian born people who sound like fobs because they grew up with other Chinese who prefers to speak in Chinese in their group of friends.
For me, I spoke Cantonese at home as a kid and went to Chinese school for many years. However, I hung around with other chinese who felt it was embarrassing to speak Cantonese in public, so Cantonese for me was only used at home, in chinese school, and wherever else its needed.
I want my daughter to have exposure to English like I did.
Luckily my wife doesnt have a fob accent. She was born here. But mainly hangout with other Chinese kids growing up, and mainly speaking canto. She tells me that when she got off school (elementary) she'd be excited to go home and watch TVB (shows (Chinese channel). Whereas I on the other hand watched YTV or whatever.
Regarding someone's question on the 2yr plus waitlist...
We actually just started looking into this several weeks ago and locked out with 3 options that are willing to take us this Sept.
Thanks again for everyone's input so far.
Feel free to share other stuff regarding daycares of general parenting styles in this thread, since my original question has been answered
