Do you have any opportunities to observe her in the setting at all? DS6 kept saying the same thing last year but once I observed him a bit at daycare (and asked his teacher to see if she could notice if he played more with some kids), I realized that there were some kids that he would never mention even though he played with them. I was able to encourage a bit of friendship in those cases and he is now doing better. Of course it's easier when they are younger, since the parent can still invite the other child for a playdate.

Good luck, I know it's not easy to witness.
