To think 2 is too young for preschool?

[Coffeeandcakeplz]

DD started preschool recently just after turning two. She was settling in well at first but after going to a parents session with her there I noticed that some older kids push her and take toys off her and not let her join in.

I know this is perfectly normal at that age but after seeing it, I think she might be too young for the setting but....am conscious I might be being overprotective. She's very small and a very young 2 in terms of communication etc. I'm on mat leave with our baby so she could stay home for a while yet.

DH thinks it's good for her to be around other kids older than her and we've both noticed her language has come along since she started. We also have no family nearby and no other kids for her to interact with so the social element is important. Teachers say she is enjoying activities and only upset when tired.

She's currently in two mornings a week but was due to be up-ed to all 5 mornings next term.

Wondering what everyone thinks - is 2 too young for preschool?

It’s strange, I’d expect a preschool that accepts 2yrs to cater to those children. Can you raise your concerns and ask how the preschool can support your DC? It may be they are just taking a bit of time to settle if they haven’t been to nursery or anything like that before. DS is hopefully going to a preschool when he turns 2, and they have a separate classroom for the older children where they spend 90% of their day and it’s set up in more of a school way to get them ready for school. Then it’s just the younger children left in the actual preschool building so there’s not too big an age gap.
