No naps at school! Help!

Our two and a half year old started at a Montessori school a few weeks ago.  We only planned to do it three days a week 9-12 but she begged to stay everyday so now we pick her up at 3.  She took a nap the first two days and now she has stopped!  We take her T,W,Th and she didn't take one nap this week.  The school is fine with it and they just have her do "quiet time" by herself, but she is a MESS when we get her home (I can forget about running errands!).  They put them down at 11:30 and I typically put her down at 1:30.  She wakes up at 7:30.  Should I start waking her up at 6:30 and play with her so she will be tired by 11:30? Or do you think things will work themselves out and she is just excited?  Anyone who has advice would be greatly appreciated!  TIA!

    Can you pick her up at 2 and put her down for a nap for an hour when you get home?  11:30 is so early for a nap, I hate when schools have such an early nap time.  Luckily our school has a 1:00 nap, but I know a few of the other schools in our town have a super early nap.

    What time does she go to bed?  Our DS stopped napping recently also.  We adjusted bedtime so he gets his 12 hrs at night.  He sleeps from 6pm to around 6:30 am.  That means we eat dinner at 5, but it makes us all happier in the long run.
