I too recommend a school which doesn't too much academics stuff. Now, pretty much every preschool will tell you that they teach colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and such. Simply because parents expect them to do so. It's all about how much time is spent on this. If teaching colors means having red day, when you come in red t-shirt, do red art, have red snack, and bring something red for show & tell then it most likely will be fun for any child even if the child already knows the color (which is mostly the case anyway)
DS5 was in such a preschool and it was great. Yes, they did a letter of the week, but he loved coming up with unusual things for show & tell. The teacher let him read to the other kids and she did understood that he was gifted. She talked to me about grade skipping, early college entrance, and different options for him.
They learned about space and other things, but it was only a small part of the day. DS5 took it as an opportunity to introduce dwarf planets to the other kids and the teacher
Most of the day was spent playing with others and DS5 had great time there.
DS4 went to Montessori last year. Not a good year. They didn't get him, they didn't understand that fine motor skills of 3 year old can be no match for his knowledge. No academics is better than wrong academics is all I have to say. Next year he will go to the preschool his older brother went to. He will have more fun there and he can get all the academics his heart desires at home.
Find a place you are comfortable with and where you think your daughter will have fun and be happy.
