| My partner and I are beginning to consider school options for our adopted daughter. Wondering which schools have an established community of two moms / two dads and would be more accepting of a multiracial family. Generally considering applying to Lowell, Aidan, NCRC, St Columba's, and a few others. Would love any feedback on this very important issue. |

Lowell, SfF, ALG,
Maybe NCRC, St Patrick's, Franklin No to St. C's or Aidan |
| I would also consider WES |
| Lowell all the way. If your 5 year old boy wants to wear a pink tutu every day for a month, that'll be awesome. |
| Little Folks |
"Awesome?" Really? |
Is there racial diversity at Little Folks? |
| Who would buy their 5 year old son a pink tutu in the first place? Seriously? |
Why do these preschool threads keep popping up on the Indepemdent Schools forum when there's a perfectly relevant Preschool forum? There was a NCRC v St Coumbas thread last week or so. |
| We are a same sex couple with children of a different race and they attended NCRC (not there any more) and it was a *fantastic* experience. Not only were we and our children welcomed in every way possible, but the diversity that our family represented was included and celebrated in the curriculum. The pure comfort level of all involve -- teachers, administrators and fellow parents -- made the experience effortless. Additionally, NCRC is a great school where our children were nurtured and began their love of learning. Good luck. |
Because pre-school parents who are interested in these schools see themselves as planning for the Big 3, of course! |
Maybe there's an older sister who has one and he likes it. Maybe he saw one in a show and asked his parents for it. Why does it bother you? |
It doesn't bother me. I just think it's a ridiculous comment here. Because frankly, I think my (and most people's) reaction to a 5 year old boy wanting to wear (his sister's?) pink tutu to school every day for a month would be, "Put your pants on." |
Would you say the same thing if your 5 year old daughter wanted to wear a pink tutu to school everyday? |
| Cross dressing start later than 5 |
