Each daycare business has its own individual enrollment procedures. All daycare providers , however, should require standard childcare enrollment forms in order to protect the children in their care as well as their daycare employees. There are a few simple enrollment daycare forms that all daycare businesses must implement:

Registration Form
The registration should contain the following information:

  • Child and parents’ names
  • Emergency contact information
  • Adults authorized to pick up the child
  • Immunization information
  • Injuries, allergies, and medications
  • Concerns about the child’s development
  • Authorization to obtain a Public Health Nurse, Physician and or Ambulance in the event of an emergency for the child

Social Resume:
A social resume should detail specific personal information about the infant that is probably not included in the enrollment form.

Infant Resume
The infant social resume should include:

  • Infant’s nicknames
  • Names of  the infant’s brothers and sisters and their birthdates
  • Languages spoken in the home
  • Pets in the home
  • Breast feeding information, solid food preferences,  feeding schedules, and food sensitivities
  • Infant’s sleep routine
  • Diapering details such as types of diapers used and diapering routines
  • Information about social and emotional development to include the infant’s temperament, fears,  and favorite activities

Toddler and Preschooler Resume
The toddler and preschooler resume should include:

  • Child’s nicknames
  • Names of  the child’s brothers and sisters and their birthdates
  • Languages spoken in the home
  • Pets in the home
  • Feeding facts such as the child’s appetite, favorite foods, food sensitivities, and typical feeding schedule
  • Self care information: Is the child potty trained? Can the child dress himself?
  • The child’s sleep routine
  • Information about social and emotional development to include the child’s temperament, fears, favorite activities, how he or she plays with others, how the child shows feelings, and how the child is normal disciplined.

Health Information Forms
The health information form should never take the place of immunization records. The health information form should include statements about:

  • The child’s general state of health
  • Any allergies or medical conditions
  • Immunization status (Are the child’s immunizations up to date?)
  • Common childhood diseases the child has had
  • Ailments to which the child is prone
  • Any speech, hearing, or visual problems
  • Any surgeries or prosthetic limbs
  • Anything about the health of the child that the provider should be aware of.

All of these daycare forms can be downloaded and printed for free at supportingproviders.com
