I’ve just been reading an interesting forum thread about the length of home daycare handbooks given out to parents.

Here’s the original post:

“Hello again,
Can you tell me how long your handbooks are? Mine is eight pages. I got way behind on renewing contracts. I finally got them out last week. The parents are saying they are still reading. Nothing has changed besides I’m envorcing that they sign each paragragh. This is only my second year with a contract. Thank you so much for all of your help that you’ve been giving me. I was also told I had to have them signed twice a year. Have a great afternoon. Jane”

If you’ve ever tried running a home daycare, you know that there can be a huge number of forms to fill in.

I recently found a good example of an application form on BabettesDaycare.com.

The form can be seen here:

It can be difficult getting all the right forms together and knowing how to use them.

You can find out how to get the exact forms you need and where and when to use them when you join my e-mail newsletter (top right corner of the blog).
