OP,

It entirely depends on the intelligence of the teachers at school. The program matters little. How deeply teachers can challenge and develop a child's cognitive thinking and social skills is what matters. This is difficult to assess when visiting preschools, so parents gravitate towards curriculum proxies such as Montessori, Reggio Emilia, play-based, etc.

My two (very different) kids thrived in the same Montessori preschool. It wasn't because it was Montessori, although I definitely like that structured approach. It was because the director was incredibly good at her job, and required all her teachers to be good as well. She saw my oldest had special needs, took him under her wing and developed his skills one-on-one. She saw my second was anxious but gifted, and didn't push her to socialize, but gave her all sorts of challenges to work on by herself. Later that led to socialization, because my daughter felt happier and more confident doing all these great things.

This is what you want in a school: intelligent customization. [/quote]
