Etymology

The concept of daycare centers has its roots in the early 19th century when industrialization led to an increase in the number of working parents. The first daycare centers were established to provide care for the children of factory workers. Over time, daycare centers have evolved to offer a range of services, including early childhood education and development programs. Today, daycare centers play a vital role in supporting working families by providing a safe and nurturing environment for children.
