The increasing preference for organized daycare settings is poised to propel the expansion of child day care services. Organized day care settings involve structured facilities or environments that provide child care and supervision services within specified time frames. This trend supports children from lower-income families in accessing quality child care. In July 2023, The Office of the Federal Register proposed amendments to the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) regulations, with the aim of reducing the financial burden on families related to child care expenses. The proposed changes also focus on enhancing payment rates and procedures for child care providers, expanding the range of child care options available to parents.

Child daycare centers are adopting technology to enable parents to stay connected with their children. Many centers utilize apps for video streaming of classroom activities and sending pictures to parents, allowing them to monitor their child's activities. For example, in Canada, Trust Child Care Centers partnered with Parent Care Network to provide video streaming over the internet for parents to monitor their child's activities. Companies such as Bloomz, Eleyo, OnCare, myKidzDay, and KidCheck offer child care software and applications used by service providers.
