How did you potty train DD?

I have heard so many different ideas.

Some people took off a week of work and took their kid to the bathroom every hour (or whatever).  They claim they were potty trained in a week.

Some people have told me that they didn't do much and DC just did it when they were ready.

DD does ok.  She will usually go when we put her on the potty but she won't really go #2 in the potty (she has before but lately she won't at home or daycare).  Every time they change her at daycare they sit her on the potty and she goes.  We really haven't pushed it.  Got a letter today that she has to be potty trained before she can change classes in June at daycare (She is in K2 and will go to K3.  She will be 3 in March).  Now I am a little stressed about it.  Should I just push it more?  Any advice would be awesome.

If you are serious about potty training you have to get rid of the diapers/pullups.  Only use them at bedtime until you know she can stay dry throughout the night.  Put her in underwear during the day.  There is nothing wrong with reminding her if you notice it's been a long time since her last potty break.  But a child knows that if they have a pullup on then they can just go in it.

3 day/boot camp style.  No diapers day or night.  She was pee trained in a day, poop trained in a week and overnight trained in 2 weeks.
