Clay, being in GA myself, DS6 went to pre-K. It was a bunch of stuff he already knew, and Bright from Start can do NOTHING to accomodate gifted kids. BUT, meet with the teacher. DS's teacher did let him read to the class during reading time, and do a few extra things. The one thing I think helped DS most of all is the socialization... sad, but true.
As for gifted programs once in school... Whole Grade Acceleration IS available once she is in K. The school will even test! But it has to be at the recommendation of the K teacher. It's very hush hush though.
Oh, and DS6 (who will be entering 2nd in August) is also in the Target program. It's actually quite great. I'm not sure how great it would be if he didn't get the grade skip, but it's definitely benefited him.
Good luck in your decision.
