Squid Daycare — In-Depth Analysis
Squid Daycare has you level Squid Kid up to 5. The route is the one used for the other kids: befriend him first, then feed him, give him bandages and return his trinkets so his experience climbs. The requirement does not add any condition about time or number of runs, only the final level. Squid Kid is the child who cooks food, which gives the leveling a clear purpose within a run.
Its listed difficulty is 1 star of difficulty, and the payout is a reward of 8 diamonds.
It is part of the Kids Have Jobs update of August 8, 2026, which gave every missing child a job and their own lunchbox, toy and plush to find. Squid Daycare is rated one star, the same as Kraken Daycare, but pays 8 diamonds instead of 5, putting it between the two other kid-leveling badges in reward.
