Child day-care activities

NACE code 88.91 covers the provision of day-care services for children. This industry plays a vital role in supporting working families and enabling economic participation, particularly for women. Child day-care activities are an essential part of the broader social services sector, contributing to the well-being of communities and the overall productivity of the workforce.

Child day-care facilities typically provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. Key activities include supervising and caring for children, organizing educational and recreational activities, and ensuring the children's physical, emotional, and social development. Qualified staff, such as early childhood educators, are responsible for implementing age-appropriate curricula and monitoring the children's progress.

The main inputs for child day-care activities include the physical facilities (e.g., buildings, playgrounds), educational resources (e.g., toys, books, art supplies), and the labor of qualified caregivers and support staff. Compliance with relevant regulations and standards, such as child-to-staff ratios and safety requirements, is also a critical input for this industry.

The primary output of child day-care activities is the provision of high-quality care and early childhood education services. These services support the development and well-being of children, enabling their parents or guardians to participate in the workforce. The outputs of this industry are consumed by 88.10 Social work activities without accommodation and 85.10 Pre-primary education, as well as by individual households.
