Kids are weird! They like to be in control and do weird things to gain control. This is working, as unpleasant as it is. She could also be upset that you aren't giving her what she wants (like home does) so is upset enough to throw up (but it sounds like she is doing it on purpose).

My 2.5yr old nephew (about a year ago) got so upset at his home daycare provider he held his breath and passed out. Ended up at the ER with a ton of tests to be told it was jus this way of getting what he wanted. The doctors nephews were prone to doing the same thing! Anyways, once they got back home my brother showed up at his daycare providers house with chocolate, wine and flowers. My nephew tried that act once more but quickly learned it wasn't worth it. Not sure what all they did to help end the behavior but you can imagine how hard it would be for parents to watch their kid hold their breath and black out...but my brother and sister-in-law still decided to take control and NOT give the child what they wanted...or the kid would be doing this forever. Sometimes parents just need to be "mean" and be parents and be in control. If they aren't then their kids do more and bigger things to keep in control.

Hope it ends quickly for you!! I can imagine it is confusing for a not yet 2yr old to rule the world at home and not in daycare...but they do typically figure out the very different expectations in each location. Some kids are just harder to "break"!!!
