What is considered part-time daycare?
Part-time daycare generally refers to any schedule that isn't 5 full days a week. A child would be considered "part-time" if they attended daycare 2 or 3 days a week or if they only stayed for a few hours each day.
Part-Time Daycare Program
Part-time daycare programs provide scheduled child care for fewer than five full days a week or for partial days, offering a flexible solution for families who don’t need full-time care. These programs include structured activities, playtime, and learning opportunities that support early development, while giving children the chance to socialize in a group setting. Part-time daycare is often more cost-effective than full-time care and can be customized to fit a family’s routine, making it a great option for parents with part-time work, shifting schedules, or those looking to ease their child into a more structured environment.
