You may be surprised at how quickly she picks up words...young children have an amazing ability to learn new languages, especially when "immersed" (surrounded) by it all day in her classes.
I have a friend who only speaks their family's native tongue when they are alone, and she practices English with her son whenever they are in public. This has helped her son to be bi-lingual.
If your daughter doesn' speak any english, you may want to talk to her as much as you can in English right now, and perhaps put printed labels on common household objects to help her learn to recognize words and read... (You could name "bed" and "chair" and "table" and "book" etc.)
Perhaps you can find her a children's "picture dictionary" that has words in your native language, as well as English? When my son was learning French in school, I bought one, and it was very helpful.
