When Should Child Care Registration Forms Be Updated?

Child care centers typically require three types of enrollment forms: registration form, health history form, and permission to treat form. These forms should provide the necessary information for parents to finalize preparations for their child’s daycare. Parents must provide personal information, emergency contacts, and medical details. Free printable forms are available to help parents fill out these forms.

The enrollment form should function as a child care agreement or contract, including the cost of care, acceptable payment methods, and payment options. It is essential to make the forms simple, complete, and avoid redundancy to maximize the potential of your child care business.

As of April 1, 2005, the enrollment form for each child in care must be updated annually, signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian, and include information about the child’s normal days, hours in care, and meal schedule. Enrollment forms should also be reviewed and updated to ensure they are up-to-date with new health, contact, and policy information.
