I would look for someplace that seems undercontrol, not too loud or wild. Small student/teacher ratio is beneficial.
My children were in a Montessorri Type preschool. Many of the projects were open ended. Children did some learning that was at their level and some group. There were jobs for the kids to do to take care of the class room. Other benefits - tie with nature, promote self motivation, community, ect. When a child brought the teacher a drawing/art type present, she would ask them to tell her about it and listen. Also, teachers didn't baby the kids.
Ask around for reccomendations. Best of Luck.
