No, she can't. During the day she is required to work on the floor whether it be helping people find a product, or taking deliveries or even working on the tills and the whole store manager doesn't allow employees to stay after closing hours except on special occassions (i.e Inventory.)

Well yes, and we're talking about the early years, yes? I really don't see the point of it though. It's meant to help but all I find is it causes hassle. Plus that's why you don't homeschool your kids.. so you don't have to make them work and help them through coursework and stuff.
As I've said- the key thing for homework in my mind, should to be reinforce what they have learnt during the day- otherwise they could very easily forget it and to prepare them for what's ahead.
