I live in Lake County so I have heard of Quest since it's probably the closest gifted school to where we live. But personally having an almost 5 year old and a 3 year old I would never spend that kind of money on a preschool program. I know every child is different but I have noticed that our boys learn a lot more and faster informally outside of any classroom by just absorbing information and playing games. They do not enjoy formal schooling. And there will be plenty of years for that in years to come. So I am in the "save for college" camp.
