Thanks, the Montessori in our area a all have great reputations. I'm thinking if she turns out highly gifted I'll leave her where she is and reduce days/ supplement academics at home. If she is mod if below EP is thinking she might find it a better learning environment - soooo confusing, at the end of the day it's only preschool - I'm just concerned about her happiness - ill call Montessori in the morning and see if they will change their policy in this case...
