Mahagogo, I'd suggest going in for a tour at the Montessori again even if you've already done so - most preschools would let you come in once more since you have to make the decision now - just let them know you want one more visit and then you'll give them your answer. You may have additional questions that you didn't have before and that will give you the opportunity to ask them, plus it will give you another chance just to get a feel for the school and the teachers - plus since your child has been offered a slot, you can ask to speak to the people who will actually be her assigned teachers.
I'd also consider *not* conditioning your "what should I do" on waiting on the results of the IQ testing. While it's good data to have, I'm not sure that in this situation it's *necessary* data - plus I also think that there are things you need to be considering here no matter what your dd's abilities test out at. For instance, she has an issue with one of the children at her current school and she's bored. You can try to get as much info as you can about what is happening with the one child - things like that can happen at any preschool. When you tour the Montessori again, ask how they would address that situation and compare that to how the current school is handling it. Boredom can relate to being under-challenged or repetitive work or 1000 other things - and it impacts children who aren't high IQ as well as high IQ kids. Think through what is boring at school for your dd, and compare that to the Montessori school. Do you need to make a change regardless of ability? Or if not, and you feel you only need to make a change once you know the results of the testing - would making the change negatively impact her if her test results weren't "gifted"? (I'm guessing most likely not - chances are the reasons you would want to make the change are good reasons for her no matter what her actual IQ number is).
Hope that makes sense!
