"We must care about the world of our children and
grandchildren, a world we may never see"
Bertrand Russell
Childcare is the act
of caring for and supervising
minor
children. (In
Australia,
daycare is
referred to as "childcare"—cf.)
It is traditional in western society for children to be looked
after by one or both of their
parents, but
the need for two-job households means that childcare is often
delegated, at least part of the time, to
childminders
or
crèches.
Most Western countries also have
compulsory education,
and during the time the children are at
school, the
school will act
in loco parentis.
