With weeks passing and their bank account dwindling, Charlie comes up with an idea of starting a daycare business in their home, particularly since the only other option for nearby parents is the expensive Chapman Academy run by the steely Miss Harridan (ANJELICA HUSTON).
Getting Phil and later their former mailroom co-worker Marvin (STEVE ZAHN) to join them, Charlie starts his center. They soon realize, however, that taking care of a group of kids and dealing with all of the state regulations is more challenging than any of them imagined. Even so, their facility becomes quite popular and begins to siphon off Harridan's clients, prompting her to do whatever it takes to ruin his business.
From that point on, Charlie and his partners must contend with her actions and the various daily challenges of running Daddy Day Care.
Some comedic striking of others and slapstick style material is present, while several characters have comedy-based bad attitudes. Some child-based crude humor and material is present, as are various instances of imitative behavior. Meanwhile, comedy scenes featuring bees, a tarantula and cockroaches might be slightly suspenseful or unsettling for anyone with phobias related to them.
