I have a 3 year old girl. In her class at school theres her and three other boys, and in the community that I live in there isn't any 3 year old religious girl, is it ok for her to hang out with these boys. I need some help with this, I mean I know its not the best thing, but I really don't have a choice here.
please help

I persoanally think it's fine, although I would also look for friends for her who are 4 years old, or even 5 depending on her maturity.

what's the problem ?
They are little kids. In many communities, kids at this age are in the same classrooms/play groups anyway. Of course they will play together.

Three year olds playing together? Don't see the problem there.

Perhaps CR2005 is concerned that her child will go through early school with only boys--she says there is no other frum girl in the neighborhood. Our local community isn't quite so small but it does seem the kids stay relatively the same in the grades, and there is only one section of each grade at our school. So maybe her concern is that in coming years there won't be similar age girls for her daughter. A valid concern, especially if she doesn't expect the situation to change when more girls enter the school or neighborhood.

CR there is nothing to worry about. She is only 3 years old.

Neh I wouldn't worry but slowly encourage girl friends. My 3 yr old has b/come friendly (really b/c noone else in shul imo and too he is a nice kid)w/h another 3 yr old boy.
To the point at the kiddush they both needed the washroom so she knows she's can't go to the mens one , so she plus him almost trooped into the womens one. Till my husband said hum that won't work eigther you each have to go to seperate bathrooms, to which she responded I Oh I wish u were a girl....... poor boy Wink
