RE Casper, and not thinking about potential #2, would it be possible to try the center and see how she likes it? I'm thinking of a friend of mine whose son is almost three; she tried him in a Montessori setting earlier this year and then pulled him after a couple of months for basically the same reason you gave--too classlike for a kid who was two, and it wasn't fitting him well. She's essentially a stay-at-home mom, though, so she didn't have to worry as much about what she'd do if they did choose to pull him out.
