Tiny person ... BIG ANGER !

I had a boy in my care that was very aggressive. He spent a lot of time in timeout! Multiple times a day. You sound like you are doing everything right but not getting the reinforcement at home. I put my trouble child in timeout in front of mom once. It was a shock to both of them. She then would threaten him that I would put him in timeout if he misbehaved at pickup. He was exhausting and they have since moved on to a daycare centre. My days are much better now.

I had a 15 month dcg start with me several years ago with similar issues. While it did get slightly better with lots of work, she still remains quick to anger and prone to violent, extended tantrums --- even though she is almost 4! I often wish I had listened to my gut way back when and terminated her. Although she can be sweet, she is exhausting and often puts a damper on our day.
