Continuity mistake: A few minutes into the movie when they are discussing who will wear the broccoli costume, a woman with black hair and blue blouse is holding two cups of coffee, sits down and hands one cup to a man. A few seconds later she is still holding both cups and walking toward the table. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: During the Chaplin Academy Tour, when Charlie crouches down to say goodbye to Ben, between shots Ben goes from holding his mom's left hand to holding her right hand. (00:08:50)
Other mistake: When Ben gives Eddie Murphy the picture he drew of them, Eddie points out that Ben drew a green moustache on him in the picture, but when he looks at the drawing for the first time and also in the meeting there's no moustache. (01:00:25 - 01:20:20)
Plot hole: Near the end of the movie the original two "Daddies" from Daddy Day Care show up at Chapman Academy. Miss Harridan seems surprised to see the main Daddy (Charlie Hinton) show up while she is in the middle of talking with potential customers about what her academy has to offer. Following his speech he then proceeds to take a large group of them away from Chapman Academy to Daddy Day Care without any paperwork needing to be filled out or without any written consent from the parents. How can one day care just take children from another day care like that? The shot was uncut so confirmation of parental consent didn't happen between the time he showed up and the time he left with the kids. (01:22:00 - 01:25:00)
Suggested correction: This show is very cut from the time the men decide to start the daycare again and from when they go to the daycare. We don't see the drive over. I've always assumed that they called the parents before they got to the academy for their permission and that's how they were able to take them.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie goes to view Chapman's Academy for the first time he gets an urgent message from work forcing him to leave. He shuts his pager but in the next shot he shuts it again and puts it away.
Continuity mistake: When Steve Zahn is dressed like Darth Vader, he grabs a green light saber, but in the next shot he is holding a blue light saber, when there would have been no time to grab a different one.
Revealing mistake: When Mr. Kubitz arrives at the house and finds Phil with makeup on, a car is driving by in the background. A few seconds go by before the shot goes back to Mr. Kubitz - plenty of time for the car to have driven out of shot. But when Mr. Kubitz is shown at the doorway again, the car is still there, driving along.
Revealing mistake: When all the kids are gathered around on the first day, and Charlie says "We would like you to read the mission statement", the sun tanned kid Dylan mouths his lines.
Continuity mistake: When they are first signing up people for the daycare, they get to the little girl with all the allergies. As the girl and her mother are listing all her allergies, Eddie Murphy has his hands by his chin not writing down anything, in the next shot he suddenly has a pen in his hand.
Visible crew/equipment: The reflection of a white sleeved cameraman is visible over the brown paper when Marvin, Phil and Charlie are looking into the window of Final Frontier.
Continuity mistake: When the kids are watching the puppet show, the inspector is eating a cookie. In one shot, he finishes the cookie and is brushing the crumbs off of his hands. In the next shot, the cookie is back and he's taking a bite.
Continuity mistake: When Charlie and his son are sitting at the table having breakfast, Charlie puts his fist to the side of his face, and his son copies. In the shot of both of them, his son's hand isn't a complete fist, he still has his fingers pointing out, but in the next shot of just him, his hand is a complete fist.
Continuity mistake: At the very end of the film, the cars in the traffic jam caused by Ms. Harridan change position in between the two shots.
Continuity mistake: When the people are first signing up for the daycare, Crispin and his mom go up to the signing booth. Then Crispin kicks Charlie on the left ankle, in the next shot Charlie is seen grabbing his right leg instead of the left one.
Revealing mistake: During the first day of daddy day care, when Dylan is screaming after leaving his mom, we see a purple car drive by in the background and a woman walking down the street. Two shots later the exact same thing happens again.

Revealing mistake: At the "Rock For Daddy Day Care", someone turns the sprinkler on and everyone starts running away. But you can see that many of the people run away before the sprinkler goes off.
Continuity mistake: After Jamie yells "Let's get ready to rumble", Flash gets up from his chair twice in two shots.
