early wake up

Hi moms! My almost 11 month old regularly wakes at 515/530. He is still on the theee hour sleep cycle, taking both of his daily naps three hours after last waking. He then goes down between 6-7, depending on when he woke from his last nap. He sleeps the night, just gets up early! I know loving his bedtime later won't help, but I was wondering if you had any tips. Should I just leave him in the crib until 6 or so? I do not want him down to one nap (despite daycare' repeated efforts to wean him) for at least another few months. Help!
