Don't recreate the wheel with daycare forms

Some Daycare Providers feel that they live, eat and sleep daycare forms. Why does it have to be this much hassle? Well, there's probably a certain amount of bureaucratic nonsense involved but in a lot of cases, forms require you to follow an organized approach, create standards and safeguards and give you documentation you may need. They're like medicine - daycare forms may not taste good but they are good for you.

Okay, so we know there are a lot of forms - so, like what kind of daycare forms are we actually talking about? Take a breath and plunge into the list that follows:

* Contract with parents

* Contract with state licensing agency

* Employment or independent contractor agreements

* Safety checklist

* Cleaning checklist

* Sick child record

* Daily child observation record

* Meal planning record

* Record of continuing education

* Child physical examination record

* Permission to give OTC medications

* Emergency pick up forms

* Emergency contact forms

* Record of visitors

* Incident report forms

* Status report forms to state agencies

* Policy and procedure forms

* Operating schedule forms

Here's the good news. You rarely have to create your own daycare forms. In most cases, any state-required form will be provided by the state. Additional daycare forms that you need to run your business can be usually be obtained by talking with other daycare providers or by searching on-line for either free, recommended daycare forms or for daycare forms kits that are sold to daycare providers. It is generally well worthwhile to pay for a kit of daycare forms then try to create them yourself. You can always modify if needed but you will have too much else to do to recreate the wheel when it comes to daycare forms.

Here's the not-so-good news about daycare forms. If you have daycare forms, you need to be sure that you use them correctly, collect all completed daycare forms and keep them in an order that allows you to find things when you need them. Actually, this is a great organizing project for you Type A personalities who need like to focus on detail. However, even if you are a Type B laid back kind of person, this is not the place to slack off! These forms will keep you out of trouble. Do it well or find someone who can help you do it well.
