If he's in daycare, that's precisely their job. You should talk to them, I'm sure they'll also have book recommendations (I know such books exist but can't think of a title). If he's not, 3-4 years is a good time to start.
You would think so, but preschools don't have too much time for non-crisis stuff like this.
OK, that might be the case for you but please do not generalize. IMO any preschool/kindergarten educator who dismisses a parent's question has failed.
Or do you refer to what's happening during the day?

Have you checked around for play groups?
I see events at the local library, and there's kid play at the YMCA.
My parents had me in an overnight summer camp when I was a little older, and it worked out well.
That's a good idea for exposure to other kids, but he is already in preschool, which is a sort of playgroup. Too young for overnight camp.
Good luck
