Daycare is a service that provides supervision and care for children during the day, typically while their parents are at work or otherwise occupied. Daycare centers can vary in size and structure, ranging from small, home-based operations to large facilities with multiple classrooms and staff members. The primary goal of daycare is to ensure the safety and well-being of children while also providing opportunities for socialization, learning, and development through structured activities and play. Many daycares offer various programs tailored to different age groups, from infants to preschoolers, and may also provide meals and snacks as part of their services.
