[quote=Anonymous]Responding to above posts but not quoting because they are too long.  There is a big difference between a non-native English speaker and one who cannot communicate in English at all.  IME (and this is limited to the daycares I myself have visited or used, I don't profess to know the characteristics of "most" daycares in the DC area like some posters) child care workers have fallen into the former category.  Accredited, licensed daycares are unlikely to hire someone who doesn't speak English, and no, I wouldn't put DC in a daycare if I myself could not communicate with the workers.  For us, there have been no consequences or detriment to DC learning the English language despite it not being the first language of some of the daycare workers.  And she entered kindergarden knowing a fair amount of Spanish too!  We're now trying to make sure she maintains it.  It's far easier for a young child to learn a language than waiting u til they are in middle school.

But no one is forcing you to do the same.  What is it, do you think children who attend daycare need ESOL or something? Lol.[/quote]
