Could your therapist talk to the teachers? Maybe they could work out a solution together.
Incentives often don't work for kids with attachment disorders. Maybe they could find a different consequence. Maybe she could sit quiet with one of teachers that is not on break or get rewarded for being quiet for 20 minutes and keep increasing the interval until she reaches the 2 hr mark.
I have a 4 yo and even at 3 was not a napper. A two hour quiet time would be really hard for him.
I also had a ffs that was not napper. When I first got him he was in an all day preschool program that had a nap time. He was very resistant. The teachers tried to force a nap on him and fought back loudly. One of teachers ended up sitting with him during the nap time. Before I moved him to another program (half day), I picked him up at the beginning to nap time to avoid problems.
Good luck. I hope you find a solution soon.
