What is a day care center?

A day care center is a space for children to grow, learn and play while their parents are at work, running errands or attending school. In day care children learn important social-emotional and pre-academic skills that will help set them up for success in school.

Day Care Center Program

Day care center programs offer full-day care for children in a structured setting with age-based classrooms and daily routines. Children participate in a mix of play, learning activities, and social interaction designed to support early development. Programs may follow a set curriculum or emphasize play-based learning, depending on the center’s approach. Meals, nap times, and enrichment activities are typically included as part of the day. All programs are led by teachers with training in early childhood education and meet state licensing requirements for health, safety, and quality of care.

A day care center provides care and early education for children, typically from infancy through preschool-age. Day care centers generally have multiple classrooms and children are grouped by age.

What is the difference between a day care center and a childcare center?

What is center-based care?

Center-based care refers to day care services that are provided in a center, as opposed to in a provider's home. Typically, center-based care is a larger setting that may have multiple classrooms.
