Daycare refers to a service that provides supervised care and early childhood education for young children during the daytime hours, typically while their parents or guardians are at work or engaged in other activities. Daycare centers, staffed by trained professionals, offer a nurturing environment where children can engage in age-appropriate activities, socialize with peers, receive meals, and receive essential care, ensuring their safety, development, and well-being in the absence of their primary caregivers.
