Final answer:
The correct answer to the question is 'After-school kids'. The term 'latchkey kids' refers to children who return to an empty home after school, not to those in daycare settings.
Step-by-step explanation:
The name given to children who go to day care after school is After-school kids. While the term latchkey kids can sometimes be used, it specifically refers to children who go home to an empty house after school because their parents are at work, not to those who attend daycare. Children who are cared for in daycares before and after school hours, while their parents are occupied, may range from children ages 2.5 to 6, who are just beginning their first school experiences, to those who are older, up to about ages 13. As these children grow, their daycare needs may change, but while they are in these care settings, they are commonly referred to as After-school kids, a term which recognizes the time of day they're cared for in these settings and differentiates from those who might spend the majority of the day at daycare.
