Daycare facilities are places where children are cared for during the day while their parents are at work or engaged in other activities. These facilities provide a safe environment for children, typically ranging from infants to preschool age, and often include educational activities, playtime, and meals. Many daycare facilities are licensed and regulated by local or state authorities to ensure they meet safety and health standards. Staff members are usually trained in child development and first aid, creating a nurturing atmosphere for children to learn and socialize with their peers.
