I would not bring her out until quiet time is over however long and loud she wants to scream because she is learning that if she screams you will bring her out and at 11 months old she likely doesn't have the attention span to watch tv (thankfully). The fans will drown out the noise for the other kids and after a short time of screaming through nap she will start sleeping longer.
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually have the 14 month old in the "quiet by herself room". I had problems with her sleeping longer than an hour too from the start but she seems good now. I was just scared to try her in the room with the other kids yet. I will have them both on Wednesday so I might try the swap then and see how that works. Thanks.
