I feel for you, I was in the same place a year ago. It's not easy. We tried 3 pre-ks in one year (long story) and I have to say the least successful with the totally play based/no real rules setting since there was no real structure, overwhelming and no opportunity for him to have any brain food there(the first one I tried). The most successful was Montessori and he had no behavior issue there(the last one I tried). The other program was okay in the middle. Not challenging at all, which caused some acting out and behaviors there...but he got to play and jump around and still was okay with it. Good luck. I am glad that is done with. Now the only challenge I have is the next however many years of school that is left to be an advocate
