as i've said before, i went to a day camp that was integrated with children of all shapes, sizes and abilities. it was a GREAT experience for me as a child, as a young adult when i was a counsellor there and it led to my volunteering with special needs at a local community centre.
while the mother may be a social worker and know that often children with special needs require more attention, i think that she acted irrationally as a parent and as a human being.
it seems like she has pulled an archie bunker when the jeffersons moved in.
what is obviously her daughter's loss is nico's gain, as i suspect this daycare will be a GREAT experience for him! you two are VERY lucky parents, as i know that city daycares in toronto can be an "interesting" experience for children, and the personal attention that nico will be getting will serve him well in the future.
