Statement 1: We don't know the number and category of children who attended the daycare. Insufficient

Statement 2: Though we know the overall number of children, we don't know the number of children below the age of 5. Plus, we don't know the regular daily tuition fee either. Insufficient

Both: Still we've yet to know the number of children under the age of five.

So, the answer is indeed E
