Your child is learning something new. So, just like with learning how to use a fork or ride a bike, there will be accidents. It is ok. When they do have an accident, rush them to the toilet to finish. This is a rule in our house now. We all try to go potty before we leave the house. Again, this sets you up for success.
We still do this at age three. You just never know if there will be a bathroom available, and if so, what the state of that bathroom will be.

This method gives you realistic, achievable, and quick results. For these, it is important to wait until they are ready so they have success.
Wait until they are having dry diapers most of the time, or close to dry. Then, have them wear underwear with a pull up over it. This will only delay your success. Use pull ups for naps and night, but nothing more. Let the accidents happen in regular underwear so they feel it. Do not go back to diapers or pull ups at any time. Stay the course and stay in underwear for the best success!

In that case, ask them how they think they can help foster the success you have had at home and compromise. Then bring home something that works at daycare.

We kept a small plastic piggy bank in the bathroom and rewarded every success one penny for pee, two for poop. Our daughter was entranced—she would shake the piggy with a gleam in her eye and remark how heavy it was getting. When she was all done, we took her potty windfall and turned it into quarters to spend on rides at the mall.
