Child care

Child care, also known as day care, is the care and supervision of one or more children, typically ranging from three months to 10–12 years old. Although most parents spend a significant amount of time caring for their child(ren), childcare typically refers to the care provided by caregivers who are not the child's parents. Childcare is a broad topic that covers a wide spectrum of professionals, institutions, contexts, activities, and social and cultural conventions.

Early childcare is an essential and often overlooked component of child development.
