Now if only they could find the parents.

A 4-year-old girl was found wandering a Brooklyn street alone on Monday morning — but police haven’t yet been able to locate her parents or where she lives, sources said.

The child, who said her name is Nicole, was found by a Department of Environmental Protection worker around 9 a.m. on Shore Parkway and 27th Avenue near Calvert Vaux Playground in Gravesend, police sources said.

NYPD officers canvassed the area but weren’t able to find her parents. They took her to Coney Island Hospital, where doctors said she appeared to be well-cared for and in good physical and mental condition, according to sources.

Officers took Nicole back to the block she was found on to see if she could retrace her steps, but that didn’t work.

At the scene, the girl clutched a stuffed unicorn and said her mother’s name is Jenna, according to video from WABC-TV.

The child is staying at the 60th Precinct station house as cops continue to search for her parents, who could possibly face child-endangerment or abandonment charges, sources said.
