Simple answer: When the sun is out, the sky is brighter than the stars and all of the stars' light is drowned out.
Detailed answer: Stars glow during the day, but we can't see them because of the glare of sunlight. When the sun is up, the blue color in sunlight gets scattered all over the atmosphere, turning the sky the familiar bright blue color. This blue light is much brighter than the faint light coming from the stars, so it prevents us from seeing them.
If you were standing on the Moon, for instance, where there is no atmosphere, you would see the stars both day and night.

Why can you see stars often at night?
You can also see stars during the day, during a total eclipse (when the moon passes between the earth and sun while near perigee). The reason stars are not typically visible during the day is because the nearest star (our sun) is so relatively bright it "washes out" the starlight.
Do stars go out during the day but ignite at night?
