I have read the 3 day potty training document that she's speaking of. It has worked for ONE daycare family that I have had and it has failed with ALL the rest. Personally, I wouldn't use it after reading it but could care less what families do at home. There is an entire page in it about making your daycare provider do it with you and I'm sorry but its just not something that I can do in my daycare with 4 other children. The document has you staying attached to your child (even sleeping on their floor) for 3 days straight. It has you getting up in the night to take them to pee, your not allowed to go out of the house for those 3 days. Not feasible in a daycare. I can't spend all my time with one child. I'm sure it will work for some, and the book says your child should be totally trained when they come back to daycare later...but...what daycare provider will just take a parents word that they are trained and just hope for the best at daycare. I won't allow a child into daycare without diapers until I SEE for myself that they can tell me when they need to go, hold it long enough to get there each and every time. (The odd accident is ok, but I'm not going to keep cleaning up pee/poop all day long) I'm sure I'll get flack for posting that I disagree with this method but it just wouldn't work for my family or my daycare. Both my kids were trained when THEY were ready (daughter right after 2nd bday and son just before his 3rd bday). I have trained TONS of daycare kids too when THEY were ready. Just my opinion though..
