Hi Olga,

At two years old, it's time to start thinking about preschool. Below is a resource center to help you with preparing your daughter for preschool: http://www.education.com/topic/preschool-readiness/

Many preschools require that a child be potty trained first before enrollment. Here is information to help make progress in that regard if your daughter hasn't already achieved this milestone: http://www.education.com/topic/potty-training/

It's never too early to do fun learning activities with your child. Here is Education.com's preschool collection: http://www.education.com/activity/preschool/

Thanks for asking!

Actually, in my personal opinion, a child is better served by his or her parent until it is time for school, and by school, I mean K-12. Preschool is just a glorified name for daycare. Yes they help with basics but that is your job as a parent. A child's best teacher will always be his or her parent.
