HELP- 18 Month Old Measuring Small

My daughter is almost 19 months but we had her 18 month checkup today. She weighed 21 lbs 8 oz and measured in the 9th percentile. I have not been worried about her weight (even though I knew she was small) because she ate a blanced diet (fruits, veggies, beans, cheese, etc.) and is meeting her milestones. She even has a little bit of a "belly." The only thing she really doesn't want to eat is meat. She has been known to out-eat my 4 year old son from time to time.

I'm Lost About Preschool

I work full time, and my long time boyfriend stays home with our daughter since we could never seem to afford daycare with what I make. My daughter just turned 3 and I feel like I'm being bombarded by other people saying, "Is she starting Preschool yet?". I really don't even know where to start to get her in or how I would afford it. My mom was a single mom while I was a child, so I was in daycare from a very young age. I just wonder is it necessary, if we work with her at home, and are there websites that show you what they should know...
