It only sometimes is. And whenever you can see it in the day, that means that you won't see it that night. The moon revolves around the earth, but not at the same rate that the earth rotates on its axis. That means that sometimes the moon is visible during the day, and sometimes at night. You don't notice it as often during the day, though.

========================

The moon is 'up', in the sky, on the average, for about 12hours and 25minutes out of

every 24 hours. If you know where to look, you can see it in the sky at some time

during almost every night and almost every day.

Out of every 24 hours, the moon is up in the sky for about 12hours 49minutes. In the course of a month, it spends the same number of hours in the daytime sky as it does in the night-time sky.
