Unwilling to accept the presence of competition, Miss Harridan attempts to shut down Daddy Day Care by notifying child services that Charlie and Phil are not following the relevant regulations. Mr. Kubitz Jonathan Katz, a director of child services, notifies them of the codes that need to be fixed, which Charlie and Phil quickly correct. Daddy Day Care grows in popularity and attracts more children. Mr. Kubitz informs Phil and Charlie that they need another employee to keep an appropriate ratio of children to caregivers. Luckily, Marvin Steve Zahn, a nerdy former coworker, had dropped by, and after seeing how good he is at entertaining the children, Phil and Charlie ask him about joining. Marvin is unsure at first, but then finds himself falling for Kelli Leila Arcieri, the single mother of Dylan, and agrees.Later, Mr. Kubitz tells them they have too many kids to stay at Charlies residence. They find an abandoned building with potential, but do not have the money to buy it. They hold a fundraising event called Rock for Daddy Day Care, which Miss Harridan finds out about. She and her assistant Jennifer Lacey Chabert wreck the festival by unplugging a bouncy castle, filling the food with cockroaches, switching face paint with glue, releasing animals from the petting zoo and turning on the park sprinklers. Daddy Day Care does not raise enough money. Shortly after, Charlie and Phil are offered their old jobs back, accepting Miss Harridans offer to take the kids back to the academy. Marvin, heartbroken by the closing of the day care, declines Charlie and Phils offer to be on board their marketing panel. ........
