Stars do shine during the day. The reason we don't see them is that the light from the sun is much brighter than that of other stars on earth and therefore blocks out the light of other stars at daytime.
We normally would see upwards of 2,000 stars in the night sky, but do not because artificial light sources like streetlights bounce light upward and block out the stars in a similar fashion.
The answer lies in the behavior of light we call scattering, and in the way the eye works as light levels increase. Though the stars in the sky shine all the time, during the day, the sun is so bright and so much of its light is scattered in the atmosphere that the tiny points of light we see at night are not visible in all the scattered sunlight. The "incoming" light certainly gets to our eyes as the sun is so bright we can't look directly at it, but tons of light coming in is scattered by air and everything in the air that we get light coming at us "from all directions" up in the sky. The result is that the eyes cannot resolve tiny light sources that are stars. Another way to look at it is that the eyes are "overloaded" by all the scattered light from the sun, and they are "desensitized" by it. We will, therefore, not be able to see those tiny points of light during the day that are relatively easily seen at night.

Why cant you see the stars during the daytime?
The light emitted from our own star, the Sun, is scattered within our atmosphere and creates the blue sky we see during the day. This blue sky is not as bright as our Sun, but is brighter than the light we receive from other stars. Hence the scattering of light obscures our view of the stars.
