Ah, if only there was a crystal ball, no?
Is there a way to talk to some of the parents at the Montessori? I was amazed at the difference in schools between the one where I did some of my student- teaching in another state and the one I visited on a job interview quite a few years ago. As you said, done right is the key.
One other thought to consider, are there services available to address some of your daughter's delays? Private school usually does not, if you think she might need extra support.
Good luck with the choice!
