Daycare Enrollment Packet: overview of what's included

Overview

Enrolling a new child means collecting a lot of details at once: who can pick them up, what they're allergic to, how they nap and which permissions their parents give. This packet gathers all of it in 10 forms, from the application to a checklist that shows what's still missing from each file.

Add your logo, daycare name, rates and license number once in free Canva. After that, print a fresh packet whenever a family joins. A printable PDF and a child care contract in Word are included.

  • Know who picks up

    Authorized pickup list, with space for people who are not authorized.

  • Health on record

    Health and allergy details plus a medication authorization with dose log.

  • Permissions in writing

    Photos, social media, sunscreen, field trips, transportation and emergency care.

  • Nothing left out

    An enrollment checklist shows which forms are still missing.

Good to know

  • Digital download: nothing is shipped
  • For use in your own child care business: please don't share or resell the templates
  • Child care licensing rules differ by state: check your state's requirements and compare every policy with them
  • A template, not legal advice: check the rules where you live, or ask a lawyer.

Questions

What forms are in a daycare enrollment packet?

This one has 10: application, all about me, emergency contacts and pickup authorization, health and allergy, medication authorization, permissions and releases, child care agreement, tuition agreement, handbook acknowledgment and an enrollment checklist.

Do I need Canva Pro?

No. The Canva templates work with a free Canva account.

Is there a photo release form?

Yes. The permissions and releases form covers photos and social media, along with sunscreen, field trips, transportation and emergency care.

Will these policies match my state's licensing rules?

Not automatically. Licensing rules differ from state to state, so the places that depend on them are left in [brackets]. Check your state's requirements and edit each policy to match.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
