Day-care typically refers to a facility or program where parents can leave their children during the day while they work or attend to other responsibilities. Day-care centers provide care, supervision, and often educational activities for children ranging from infants to preschool-aged. They play a crucial role in supporting working parents by providing a safe and nurturing environment for their children during the day. Some day-care centers may also offer additional services such as meals, enrichment programs, and transportation.
