Well I will let you know in a couple weeks. We are starting my DS4 in a montessori program this week. It seems like a much better fit than his current pre-k. There was nothing wrong with his other pre-k we just think it would be good for him to learn how to be challenged a bit, to work on completing tasks, and to be in a more relaxed setting as when his setting is calmer he is significantly calmer. We tried it out for a day last week and he loved it. He is in love with all the "manipulatives" He could care less about typical pre-k toys (action figures, dramatic play, etc). but really likes blocks/puzzles, math stuff, art, etc. And they get to go outside each day which he is excited about and I think it is good for kids.
