In between the new and full moons, the moon is sometimes visible in the daylight because enough surface area is being reflected toward earth and it's sufficiently far from the sun to not be totally overwhelmed by the Sun's glare.
The full moon is 180 degrees from the sun, with earth in between. As the sun rises the moon sets and vice versa. So the full moon is not visible in the daytime as it is not around when the sun is up.
The new moon rises and sets with the sun. It is too close to the sun and hard to see.
The moon orbits the earth once a month. As it travels, it's rising and setting time changes later and later, and its relationship between the sun and earth changes to account for the lunar phases.
DOC = The phases in order appear as a crescent letter D, then the letter O for full, and ends looking like the letter C and then disappears completely for a day or two as the new moon.
The moon is in a position that sunlight reflects off the moon during the daytime.

Why do I see the moon in the day?
The moon is seen during daytime for the same reason it is seen in the night - It reflects light from the sun. Usually the moon is seen in the morning and at dusk, when the sunlight is not as bright as during midday. The reason why many people are wondering about this is the biblical reference (Genesis 1); that the moon and stars are seen during the night While the sun during the day. During solar eclipses, even the stars (esp. the brighter ones) are visible. The moon orbits the earth, and it takes about 27.32 earth days to do it. So it makes sense that from time to time you will see it during the day. Notice that most of the time when you observe this the sun and moon are separated by quite an angle. The closer the moon gets to the sun the less of the sunlit surface of the moon there is to see. Also the brightness of the sun itself obscures the moon at the time of the new moon.
