Like getting packages and putting out my trash if I forgot etc. we have done play dates in past but lately had noticed we hadn’t got together in a while.
Our kids were in the same class at daycare last year but my son got moved to another class because he goes to another daycare near where his dad lives (divorced). Was really upset when my son got moved out because he’s friends with all the kids.
So after those incidents I was thinking maybe I need to start making more of an effort to make plans as I am not usually one initiating plans so maybe she just felt like it was one sided?
We had invited them and the whole class to his party in August but that was when they were in the same class. But I would have still thought he would have been invited now. They’re still buddies and my son is still friends with all the kids in the class. I just know if my son knew he wasn’t invited he would be really disappointed.

I think your neighbor assumes as your son is in a new daycare/class, he's not part of the neighborhood anymore.
I would start to initiate plans - a lot. Let them know your son is still around and wants to be friends.
Can your son make friends in his new daycare class? I would invite those kids over to your house.
Broaden your son's social circle.
