they bite out of frustration- we had to expel one from 2 year old preschool- otherwise he was very loveable- we tried the words "kisses only"/ he got better one day then got worse again/ tried again/ got worse. Our director would not let him come back- We loved him so much- he was so sweet "in between chomping"/ he usually bit when someone got too close to what he thought was his space or had a toy he had played with earlier- so in his mind- it was his- he had never ever been in a situation where ALL toys weren't HIS- see?
Even if we understand it is out of frustration we can't put the other babies in this situation. Doe she have a pacifier? Is she teething? You can try Tylenol before she leaves the house- if she's teething it may help a lot....
My guess, since she is so young is- and of course I am just guessing- she is not used to being with other kiddos and she is overwhelmed. You may have to have a sitter that only watches HER- then try again next year. Or has she had lots of playgroup friends? Maybe I a wrong here. If you can't get a sitter they may have to put her in a playpen unless they are holding her. They probably will not do that- but they could try time outs for one minute and say no bite and give the other baby a LOT of attention- I really think she is too young to understand discipline and consequences - just my opinion.
Does she only bite children? Ever bite adults?

Good luck mom
