I would spend a week just leaving her there to cry and see if it gets any better. Most kids come to care used to mom going to get them as soon as they so much as whimper. If she is still tired she should eventually roll over and go back to sleep - if she does and is still asleep at the wake up time leave her be as long as you can so she gets a proper nap which should help with a better evening and eventually days for you. Just because a child cries doesn't mean they get up. The fact she is protesting that loudly says to me she is mad more than she needs anything. When she figures out the protests serve no useful purpose you should see them diminish. Again she needs to learn to roll over and go back to sleep if she wakes too early, or to lay quietly and rest or look at the pattern on her blanket. Having said that make sure that her space is pretty with a fancy blanket, sheets, etc so there is stuff worth looking at but not a toy she can play with instead of sleeping.
