Daycare refers to a facility or center where parents can leave their young children, typically infants and toddlers, during the day while they are at work or otherwise occupied. Daycares provide a structured environment with trained staff who supervise and engage the children in various activities, including playtime, educational games, snacks, and sometimes early learning programs. The goal of daycare is to ensure the safety and well-being of the children while also promoting their social, emotional, and cognitive development in a nurturing setting.
