Daycare refers to a facility or service where parents can leave their children during the day, typically while they are at work or otherwise occupied. Daycares provide care, supervision, and sometimes early childhood education for children ranging from infants to preschool-aged. These facilities are regulated to ensure safety, hygiene, and appropriate developmental activities for children in their care. Daycare centers can vary widely in size, services offered, and educational philosophies, catering to the needs of working parents and families
