Child Care

Child care refers to the care and supervision of children, typically ranging from infancy to around age 12. It encompasses a variety of services and environments designed to support the developmental needs and well-being of children. Child care can be provided by parents, family members, or professionals in different settings, including home-based care, daycare centers, preschools, and nursery schools. The primary goal of child care is to ensure that children are safe, nurtured, and engaged in activities that promote their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. Child care providers may offer a range of activities, including play, education, meals, and social interaction, to facilitate learning and growth in young children. Quality child care is vital for children’s development and can have lasting impacts on their future well-being and educational outcomes.
