16 months is young for a timeout but I agree with the playpen time without toys so she learns that what she is doing is completely unacceptable and that she can have fun again when she stops her tantrum. She's old enough to understand simple instructions and language and old enough to learn this behaviour has to stop.
Your poor head! Everytime we have a new baby who screams I feel really bad for all the other children in the daycare too and I tell the parents how unfair it is for ALL of us. If the parents are giving in to the child's every whim at home she's old enough to know that works and it will only get worse.
