Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Too good to be true??

I took DD3 to check out a preschool last weekend. It's at a private school just a few miles from my house and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I keep wondering if this place is too good to be true. Here's the lowdown and tell me if I'm missing anything.

There are only 12 kids to a class with 2 to 3 teachers per class. The classes have mixed-ages, so the preschool class will be ages 3-5 (I love this because DD can be around older kids who hopefully speak better than ND 3-yr-old since DD tends to mimic who she's around).
Each child is tested before entering and given their own personalized education plan.
I briefly mentioned some of DD's more atypical 3-yr-old qualities, like reading, simple math, and advanced language and they said they would definitely give her work geared more toward kindergarten.
They accelerate children who learn fast, even the wee little preschoolers.

I was so impressed with the variety of activities and the fact that DD can be advanced to fit her own learning. Every other preschool around here, aside from the too-far-away Montessori schools, just groups kids by age with no alternative learning opportunities for accelerated youngsters.
Is there something I'm missing here that makes this sound too good to be true? Oh yeah, Kindergarten and up costs 6K a year! Ouch. We'll have to just to cross that bridge when we get to it.

I told DH that this seems like a nice way to offer an accelerated approach without the hassle of public school. I know getting early K entry can be a tough task with public school (although not impossible) yet this private school seems ready and willing to take DD wherever she may go. I realize there may be some times when the school and I will not see eye-to-eye (no relationship is perfect, is it?), but it sure seems to be like a nice place to start.

If I can only get my MIL on board -- she was hoping we'd send her to a church-based preschool, even though she'd never tell me that to my face. And I cannot get her to take DD to school on the one day I work because she "doesn't want to be responsible for two children in the car during the winter." How did this woman ever raise 4 kids of her own??? And in case you think I'm being a little hard on MIL, keep this in mind: we live in a safe, rural area with low crime, low traffic and great snow plows! Sigh!!!
