Seems like you're looking for Montessori schooling. I was actually fortunate enough to attend one for ages 3-5. Although I don't have many memories from then specifically, I do remember repeated bordem when I stopped going and was moved to public school. I always wanted to do more hands on activities as I had before, but the closest it ever got was art.

Another note of interest, my senior class at high school consisted of 4 people whom I attended Montessori with, of those four, three took IB classes and participated in clubs / extracurriculars above the average rate for my school. I can't help but wonder if even just those few years at a young age made a lasting impact.

I'd expect it to be the parents choices, same for whether boredom is tolerated or encouraged at home.
