I think that Monetessori schools allow children to develop at the individual childs pace, rather than forcing a child to fit into a standard mold. Gifted children are allowed to excel, while other get the attention in the areas they need.

The goal of both Montessori and Traditional schooling is the same: To provide learning experiences for the child. The biggest differences lie in the kind of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal. Montessori educators believe both differences are important because they help shape what a child learns, his work habits, and his future attitudes toward himself and the world around him.

Students taught in a Montessori school have better grades as the get older and are able to retain information better than those taught in a traditional Kindergarten class.

Sorry I don't have any help for you here. My daughter attended a Montessori school through the fifth grade. Because she was never tested (as in having to prove what she knew) we didn't discover learning differences until way late in her development.
I realize that this is way beyond kindegarten, however, so I will try:
"A Montessori preschool environment allows each student to develop at his own pace, to discover self-learning, to share in projects and cooperating schooling, and to fully develop spatial and cognitive reasoning through hands-on play through learning."
