My kids have been going to daycare since about 14 months. They only speak English - at home and at daycare. Daycare and the logistics suck - costs, pick up and drop off, etc. However, we have parents who told my wife and I very early on that they would not take care of kids full time. Our daycare costs will be about 2000 per month in July. Getting licensed daycare is a problem in the city of Vancouver, but it's fine in the suburbs. You just have to prepared to pay a hefty fee if you want quality and licensed care for your little one(s).

I grew up with Cantonese in the background, but I never really got the hang of speaking it. I understand it today, but my kids will never learn the language. I would say that an accent holds you back personally and professionally, even if you were born here - it's something to think about for your own kids.
