The only way to get toddlers into Daycare is if all Sims aged Teen and up from your household leave the lot (go to work/school or travel). There's no "send to daycare" option, unfortunately.
What you may be able to do instead is to hire a nanny, though they can be rather unhelpful.
If you're away from a lot, Sims won't start a fire, as far as I'm aware, they can only happen on actively played lots. So if you take Linda off to go fishing, the family will be fine, besides some of their needs going down (and beware, they're dropping rather fast after the most recent patch). No fires, no disasters of epic proportions while you're away. But do keep an eye on the needs in case you need to head home to take care of the toddlers if their needs drop too far.
Bottom line: if you go fishing while the husband is at work, the toddlers will be automatically sent to Daycare. If you go fishing while he's home, he'll take care of the toddlers and you can also hire a Nanny (who, I believe, will stay until you dismiss them).
I hire a Butler, that way my Sim parents can come and go as they please, and the children are cared for. Even infants. Life is crazy when your Sim is a Global Superstar …

So a butler cares for kids? Sweet. I'll have to try that if there's butlers in Sims 4 base game. :smiley:
