    I hear ya ~ the options are very 'bias' in what is offered for sure .... it is the common misjudgement of society that the most attractive are the blond haired blue eyes people and sadly it is not just in 'childhood' but all the way through media and so forth .... how many women die they hair blond or wear contacts that are 'tinted' to change their eye color and so forth and well WHY do they do that but the years of preconditioning in all sorts of social messages that this is the 'desireable thing to be'!

    Yes it is very frustrating for those who are of other shades of skin to find dollies or other expressions that are representative ... not just shades of skin but hair color, eye color, freckles and other distinguishing differences between ourselves!

    However Scholars Choice has a wonderful selection of Lots to Cuddle babies that come in various 'shades' of skin tones ... I have several for my program.

    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
