Child Care Centers Provide care for larger numbers of children in separate buildings, churches or schools.
Children come for part or all of the day.
Centers usually follow a plan of regularly-scheduled activities. Children of the same age play together. Teachers in child-care centers plan and implement activities that are appropriate for the children with whom they are working. Parents choose this type of care for the organized activities and opportunities for their children to be with children of the same age. This program also provides health-care services and involves parents in the program.
