It's her problem and she wants YOUR solution. Ok, let's see if we can give it to her. Here's my thought:
1) Document, document,document. Each time. This may came into play later.
2) Schedule a conference with her. She was prob. too busy to talk and blew you off. You need to tell her yur concerns and go over your plan of action.
3) In discussing with her, go over the behaviors she's demonstrated, the expected behaviors, and ask if there is anything at home that may be throwing her off a little bit. Ask in 2 or 3 different ways. Pause after you ask with a curious look on your face. Let her eat the silence. She'll try to figure it out.
4) Once you have an idea of what may have changed, if anything, set forth a behavior contract. Tell mom that you are on a team together and your goal is helping this little girl to settle in at daycare. Come up with ideas together.

The reason I am suggesting that you involve the mom is because you don't want her to assume you are tattling, but that you have this girl's best interests at heart.
