[quote=Anonymous]My (UMC white) kids went to a cheap church preschool where they were the only white and I imagine the only UMC children. The other children were all Chinese (non-English speaking prior to starting preschool) or black (roughly split half and half). It was a great experience, but I would say the diversity aspect neither helped nor hurt. It was good because the families were engaged, the teachers were great (and native speakers), the curriculum was good. The non-English speakers learned English very quickly. It was funny when my kids started K at a very white school, I would ask who they wanted to have over for a playdate, and invariably the child they would have over would be the one black girl in class. So I figure that part of their early childhood education could only have been helpful in making them feel comfortable with children with different backgrounds. [/quote]
