Does your licensing not allow him to nap in his own room? I always put my 16 month old down in his own room with a video monitor. It is hard for our Littles to share their mom, their toys, and their space all day long. Allowing DS to sleep in his own room gives him the separation from daycare that he so desperately needs furing the day.

Also, he may still need 2 naps. I know it isn't ideal, but maybe a short 30 minute cat nap after brealfast, then he lays down again when the big kids do?

My DS was the absolute worst napper before we sleep trained him. Once we trained him for night sleeping, his daytime sleep figured itself out. He found his natural sleep rythym, and predicting and executing naps was so much easier.
