You should 💯 bring it up, but in a way that lets the teacher plan a lesson about how we’re all different, but all equally wonderful, in that pre-K way.
It’s normal for kids to notice, it’s normal to want to be like other kids, and it’s a great teaching moment.
Like and agree with this thought.
When my daughter was ~this age, we moved downtown and did public pre-school. Very diverse class. She's blonde haired, blue-eyed. She always had so many questions about the different skin tones and hair colors she was seeing. Sometimes in inopportune moments 😅. My daughter generally has a tricky time with new environments anyway.
I think there are minor things to do to handle it and mitigate any potential negative outcomes, but generally, I think it's just a common phase.
There’s a ton of kids books around this. I think we had “All people are beautiful” but there’s many others like it. My 8yo went thru something similar when he was 5 where he’d ask why he’s the only brown kid in class or in his friend circle. You have to teach him to embrace his diversity. He’s now proud in his skin and his background and that he’s different.
