A private daycare is a daycare facility that is independently owned and operated by an individual or a company, rather than being run by the government or a non-profit organization.
To be honest, there are a lot of things to look for while choosing a private daycare, but the most important thing is that the location should be near your home or work.
Private daycares are typically run as businesses and require payment for their services, while public daycares may receive government funding and often have lower or no fees for eligible families.
Private daycares may offer care for infants as young as a few months old up to daycare-age children (typically around 5 years old). Some private daycares may also provide after-school care for older children.
The operating hours can vary depending on the daycare center. Most private daycares operate during standard working hours (e.g., 7:00 am to 6:00 pm), but some may offer extended hours or flexible schedules to accommodate the needs of working parents.
