Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central solution to job loss and inadequate childcare is individual entrepreneurship and the success of a small, innovative business competing effectively in the market, which aligns with right-leaning themes of self-reliance and free-market principles.
Daddy Day Care features a visibly diverse cast, including a Black lead and his family, alongside a white co-lead and a multicultural group of children. The film's narrative positively frames its main characters, including traditional identities, and does not explicitly critique them or center on overt DEI themes.
