Get more information: There is no way to determine a course of action with this limited information. Is she socially involved at home? How does she interact when you are with her? Gather as much information as you can from the daycare personnel and discuss this with a mental health provider.

Start small: Some kids are very intimidated by bigger, group social situations, such as one would find in a day care center and can feel overwhelmed. They then isolate themselves. It might be much better to start with one playmate at your home and keep it short - maybe an hour of playtime once or twice a week. Let the child get used to social interaction more slowly this way if they are so inclined!
