2 1/2 year old waking at 4 am

[peacefulwarrior]

Hello friends,
Asking for help again
We finally moved my daughter to a big girl bed and she's been doing so well!  She hasn't gotten out in the middle of the night or anything!  So she was in it for 6 nights , bedtime at 8 pm and waking up at 6:30 am.  But the last two nights she's woken up at 4 am and I'm not sure how to stop it!
She usually takes an hour and a half to two hour nap.  She goes down at 2 and sleeps til 3:30 or 4.  I have no control over that since her nap is at daycare and all the girls there nap at the same time.
But I could ask her provider to cap the nap at one hour if you think that would help.
And I could put her to bed earlier but it's just hard because we get to see her less if we do that
Oh parenthood
Thanks!
Monica

Hi there, any chance something environmental is waking her at 4 a.m.?  What happens when she wakes at 4?  Does she stay in there and get herself back to sleep?  You may think about capping the nap but it's a very precarious process.  Why is the daycare nap so late in the day?  That's not really helpful at all for sleep at this age.  I know it's out of your control but it seems really late to me.
