Two men named Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson get laid off and have to become stay-at-home fathers when they can't find jobs. This inspires them to open their own day care center.
Two men named Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson lose their jobs in product development at a large food company and are forced to take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy and become stay-at-home fathers. With no job possibilities on the horizon, they open their own day care center, call it "Daddy Day Care", and employ some fairly unconventional and sidesplitting methods of caring for children. As it starts to catch on, it launches them into a highly comedic rivalry with Chapman Academy's tough-as-nails director, Gwyneth Harridan, who has driven all previous competitors out of business.—Sony Pictures Publicity
Two men named Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson get laid off in product development at a large food company, are forced to become stay-at-home fathers, and take their sons out of the exclusive Chapman Academy. They create a new day care center called "Daddy Day Care" and have kids like the smart-mouthed-but-became-polite Crispin (Shane Baumel), the really smart Becca (Hailey Noelle Johnson), and The Flash/Tony (Jimmy Bennett).

Charlie, a busy working father, is laid off after the health division in his company was shut down. Desperate for money, he opens up a day care center with the help of two friends. As it became more popular, a nearby school's daycare became less populated, because Charlie's center, Daddy Day Care was much cheaper. Mrs. Harridan, the head mistress of that school, attempts to shut down Daddy Day Care, but fails. Charlie and one of his friends are offered a better job and they decide to take it. But not long after, Charlie soon realizes that the job isn't what he really wants to do. He returns to Daddy Day Care, only to learn that everybody left and went to the expensive school. He successfully convinces the children and their parents to come back, and Daddy Day Care becomes a raging success.
