It's not uncommon for children at that age to give up their naps.  My daughter at 16 months only takes 1 down from 2 so I would assume by  that naps would be all but a memory.
Also just a side note:  I'm sure she is not any more inclined to relax and nap when she's getting spanked.

Does she take a nap when she is at home?  Our granddaughter gave up afternoon naps just before her second birthday.  Remember the old adage - you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.  Perhaps she would be more comfortable looking at a book while resting or some other quiet activity.
