I read several boards. Another board I read is geared towards people who homeschool or afterschool. A thread yesterday was about 'does your child like homeschooling, and why?' The overwhelming reason kids like homeschool is to spend more time with mom.
If you don't need to go to work, don't need a regular break from your child, then think about what a preschool can provide your child that you can't. Tumbling, gymnastic, swimming, etc, lessons give a child exposure to age peers, and teach a child to take direction from another adult in charge. Story hour at the library is free, and gets them used to sitting and listening. Time with mom at 2 can't be replaced.
Most 2 year olds don't play well together, and frankly, when else will she be expected to play with a 2 year old? Not until she has a younger sibling or she's a parent will she have to play with a 2 year old. 2 year olds need to learn to be kind, share, be compassionate, etc, these things are best learned from an adult who loves them.
