My daughter won’t 💩 in the potty and keeps going in her undies

She’s at day care during the day so not much I can do there. She has easy access to the potty. Just won’t go poop. Not sure if she doesn’t understand or what.
My son has a potty with a little squatty potty attached. It helps him go a bit easier. I’ve heard it’s not good to have their legs dangle. You may also want to start putting her on the potty every hour she’s awake. For 5-10 minutes if she cooperates. She’ll get there, but try to have a consistent routine!
just keep trying, eventually she will get it. poop is the hardest part
My son was going through the exact same thing. However, since your daughter is at day care all day, if you are off on the weekends, I would keep her underwear off all weekend if you can commit to being home. But still keep her pants on, some that you would not mind having to throw away if 💩 stains won’t come out in the washer. After pooping on herself with no underwear, she will most likely be completely upset and grossed out at the feeling of 💩 dropping to her ankles and her pants. LOL that is what happened with my son. After two times of doing that, he started realizing that he had no other option but to 💩 in the toilet. But I will mention that since he had some big fear about going 💩 on the toilet, he was holding it in a lot of the time when it was obvious that he had to go. So basically, he would eventually go only when he could no longer hold it. But now he is going to the bathroom on the toilet with minimal issue now.
I agree with the no underwear comment. And have her go commando at daycare. The oh crap potty method says to make them go commando because underwear feels to much like a diaper. Take away the security net and she will use the toilet, I promise.
He still doesn’t do it completely effortlessly, but I would say that we are about 90% of the way there. But until he has 100% comfortable with going poop on the toilet. I will continue to keep him with no underwear under his pants because that is what has helped us get this far. So in your case with your daughter at daycare most of the day, I would suggest that you use any time that you have with her awake, to try that out very consistently each day.
One more thing that I feel is important to mention is when your daughter poops in her pants, make sure to drop the poop into the toilet with her right there and explain to her that poop supposed to go in the toilet. I hope this helps, because I know your struggle! Believe me. 🤦🏽♀️ lol I’m following this thread so come back in a week or two to let me know how it worked out!
I would keep her in underwear all day. Girls usually don’t like being messy. Also, feed her things that will help her go, then let her sit on the potty with a book or in front of the TV. I used to sit with my son and keep him company while he goes. It takes time.
