Sit beside her mat and pat her back until she goes to sleep for the first week or so...then try to let her lay down alone. And make sure you have naptime at home at the same time they have naptime at daycare. If none of that works, talk to the center and see if they have an extra crib that she can use during naptime. Really, at 16 months, she's not too big for a crib!
