Definition
Daycare, a Parenting subclass, covers full- or half-day supervised care for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children (typically 0–5) provided by licensed centers, in-home providers, or community programs. It focuses on child safety, early development, socialization, and reliable coverage for working parents.
