Preschool

My husband & I have moved to the suburbs - for the supposedly superior schools. We live in a predominately white neighborhood. My son is 1 of 3 (half) African American children in a school of about 125 kids. He has recently begun not wanting to go to school. About 3 weeks ago he told me that a little girl in his class told him that he had ugly skin. & today while on a play date with a child & parents I would NEVER accuse of promoting racism, the child proceeded to tell us all at the dinner table that we all had nice light skin while my son was the only one at the table with yucky dark skin, “light is much better” is what she said. Her parents were appalled. How should I handle this? I plan on talking w/ the director but I would like to offer some suggestions on how they can help promote cultural sensitivity and understanding. Does anyone know of any books, programs or other teaching aids that could be helpful for preschoolers? Thank you all in advance.

Do you think the school will have anything to say about it? Can they kick him out because of it? It is a public school.

I cannot afford preschool for my child. My income is not low enough to get her into head start (I have already tried) but it's not enough to pay for it myself. I just need some advice on what to teach her so she will not be so far behind the other children. She has attended preschool for about 3 months but due to financial reasons I had to withdraw her. So what are the most important things she should know? And what are some good ways to teach it to her at home? Would you say movies? books? hands on activities? etc....
