daycare child

Center-supervised little one

A daycare child is a young child who spends part of the day at a childcare facility while parents work or attend to other obligations.

The term emphasizes the child's status as someone in institutional care rather than home care: The daycare children lined up for snack time.

It can carry slight clinical distance compared to simply saying "kids at daycare."
