I just came across this blog post that La Texican mentioned in her Blog Post tour. It may be helpful when seeking out a new preschool. Topic is how to talk to teachers about your young gifties.

In our experience, we sought out a preschool mainly because everyone else in our town was doing the whole part-time preschool thing. DS hated it, but it was good for him to gain experience being around other kids. We did not look at preschool (and not really kindregarten either) as a place for education, since DS already knew the curriculum. He learned things through osmosis most of the time, and we followed his lead. If I had to do it over again, I probably would have skipped the whole organized preschool thing. I know that's not helpful to you, as it looks like you need it for childcare as well (which we did once DS hit kindergarten stage). But you will get less frustrated as your kiddo gets older and you get better at figuring out what he needs and how to advocate for it. It's especially hard when they're so young and asynchronous. Hang in there!
Oh, and try not to pay so much attention to the other negative mommies (although maybe you don't want to go back to that particular type of event). You responded appropriately - there's nothing you're doing, your kid just loves that academic stuff.
