i guess the best word im looking for here is enhance becuase you should always give them something more to think about..i had a couple of pages of math homework to do when i was young and my dad gave me two more to do because he wanted me to grasp the concept better..i would say the same thing can apply to a toddler i dont think it will affect her learning in any way except make her realize things quicker

You don't need to teach her at home. But what you can do is do fun stuff with her which will improve her skills. A 2 or 4 piece jigsaw puzzle is a good idea to start with..play games with her...talk to her about the things around you...do craft work with her.
These are all the things I used to do with my older son and tell parents (I used to work at a kindergarten earlier).
Explain why you are doing certain things in a way she understands and would like...eg. explain why you have to water the plants and do it when you are doing the watering.
