I think you've already answered this question yourself. You've moved day cares and churches. Both are large upheavals in a child's life. She is most likely feeling a little stressed and doesn't know how to verbalize her feelings.
Plus, she may wonder if she is still the center of your life if you are spending more time in other people's company.
This is not that unusual. When children feel out of control of their lives or their normal routine is disturbed they will sometimes appear to step backwards a little. Your reassurance and attention will probably do the best for her.

I have found that young children, and especially children who are newly potty trained, will not take the time out to go to the bathroom when they are busy playing or very occupied or content with what they are doing. They are several approaches you could try. First, you could ask her every so often if she has to go to the bathroom and physically set her on the toilet when it as been awhile since she last went. Make sure when she does go that you make a big deal of it , with compliments and praise. You could try the sticker method. Tell her that she gets a sticker everytime she goes to the bathroom and display them on a chart. You could tell her that if she goes a whole week without wetting her pants that she will get a special treat. I don't recommend bribing the child but that is up to you. Now, I have a 3 and 4 year old and when they do wet there pants, there is punishment. Since she is already potty trained and she is aware of what she is doing , perhaps you could be more firm with her. Tell her she has to sit in time-out for 4 minutes ( minutes by their age). My best advice to you is that there should be punishment but lots of encouragement and praise when she does go to the bathroom or goes for a period of time withoout wetting her pants. good Luck

It could be she is being lazy about it or it could be something bothering her. Watch her when she urinates in her pants and see if she is busy playing and just did not want to take the time to go. Look for a pattern. Try rewarding her for not going in her pants, Try grounding her for the day from a toy or activity she likes. Be sure she is happy at daycare.

Do you give her water right before she goes to bed? My kids would get a drink rougly a 1/2 hour before they went to bed, and would have to use the toilet right before they got in bed, otherwise they would pee. If she continues to do this maybe she has a hard time holding it during the night. I know I thought something was wrong with my daughter and had her checked to see if something horrible had been done to her. Who knows it could be temporary.

I believe it is the stress from moving which may be causing her some anxiety, thus her wetting herself. Sit down with her and reassure her everything is good and with time she will adjust.
Her changing day care centers may play heavily into her behaviour. She may be experiencing some anxiety with her new playmates, or there may be one particular child who bothers your little girl. Contact her day care center and talk with someone who can provide you with that information...and go from there.

there is definately something that is causing your daughter to regress in her potty training! it could've been the move and all the new changes or something else she's not verbalizing yet. find out what she's scared of, if there is anything because that could be it.

she might just have forgotten how to be pottie trained. just teach her again. explain to her that she needs to keep using the bathroom. it most likely isnt a medical problem.

this can also be a sign of abuse... sexual abuse... I hate to say that but no one else is telling you... I used to be a daycare teacher and this is a sign I was supposed to watch for... please have her checked out again...

It's a phase - don't get overly concerned.
She'll grow out of it.
