In my experience, so long as she has at least one person to teach her new interesting things then she'll grow up just fine. My family didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up, so my dad would ensure that we would get the best of the education that was given to us by the government by encouraging me to go to the library, museums and art galleries so I could find out more about the things that had piqued an interest in school, but the teachers only had so much time to tell us about. I wouldn't have had that experience if I had been living out in the countryside.
Similarly, we'd go on holiday to the lake district and see nature at its best and get a deeper understanding of what natural beauty was. My friends would be going on beach holidays and be bored senseless because there was only the beach, an appartment building and a pool, whereas I had mountains and lakes to play with.
So if she's always got you in her life, I'm pretty sure she'll turn out just fine wherever she lives.

I first noticed Waterhouse's Echo and Narcissus when I was 11, in the art gallery that was right behind our flat, and bawled my eyes out because the tale was so gorgeous.
