Why are most daycares around here have a predominantly black staff?

+1 for all of the VA preschools and daycares near us. And all of the lead teachers, of any ethnicity, had college degrees.

Because it’s a low skill, low paying job, but at the big centers you need to have the correct papers.

Yes our daycare has predominantly Black staff and in the teacher bios, many come from very large families.

All that time here hasn’t helped with reading comprehension, clearly. OP didn’t say anything negative about it, or ask anyone to “explain why they exist.” Grow up.

If OP did not see it as a problem, OP would not have brought it up. She kept on looking at childcare center websites for an "alternative" and did not find one, hence her question.

Oh, she is welcome to join us in caregiving professions!

Why would you assume OP had a problem with it? Says more about you, really.

Her words speak about her, not me; the latter is an impossibility, I am one of 300+ million people in this country that she does not know.

You are just looking to be offended. OP simply asked a question.

+1. People would be a lot happier if they stopped assuming the worst in everyone.

Who said they were unhappy? To quote an American folk saying, "I said what I said", my response still stands.

Interesting Pov, toured a facility with predominantly white caregivers and they were cold and neglectful. Middle Easternsand Hispanics are the main caregivers in my area and I prefer that for my child.

Middle eastern and Hispanic cultures tend to be very family and children focused. They love kids!

It depends where you are? Like Richmond is mostly white people who lives there....

But in DC, VA and Maryland is a mix of White, Black and Hispanic people working in schools, family daycares, etc. Centers also has a variety of diverse workers, white, Black, hispanic and others

A preschool teacher is NOT a low skill job!

This has not been my experience.

My kids childcare providers over the years were primarily South Asian, Hispanic, and Eastern European. They did have one African-American teacher. This is Arlington.

Because black women are the better caregivers…been raising kids since slavery!!
