Hi--
If you want elite and expensive then the Goddard school is the way to go. It's a great program, but pricey.
The rec center has a great pre-school program--it is also very affordable.
My oldest went both places. For us, the Goddard school was awesome but as a stay at home Mom we didn't have him there a lot so the cost was prohibitive. We then put him in the rec center program and we were very pleased with it.
