My DD4 went last year to a very small co-op preschool. It cost 1/3 the cost of my son's preschool and I actually like it a better! It is play/social based but it is very individualized for each child. They are always modifying projects, information based on the needs of individual children. I do have to say, many GT kids have gone through this program. They typically have 2-3 kids a year that are reading (out of 20). Being really involved at the school helps as well.
