The array of choices for early education can be overwhelming. Learning about the more prevalent approaches and their unique philosophies can help parents select a program that works for their precocious children. Some of these approaches include childcare/daycare, early entrance, Head Start, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf. The National Association for Gifted Children's position on early childhood outlines several core elements for the precocious preschooler: (1) recognition of children as unique individuals; (2) flexible pacing; (3) challenging curriculum; (4) learning opportunities; (5) engagement; (6) access to a variety of instructional materials; and (7) interaction and collaboration with diverse peers. It is important for parents to consider their own priorities when selecting a program and to tour the facilities that seem to fit best. If the program they choose does not go well, they still have the choice to communicate with school staff, get involved, or try a different program.
