Knowing how to write a daycare contract<\/strong> is not second nature for most family child care providers.

What is a daycare contract?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A family child care or daycare contract is a document that represents the agreement that is made between you (the provider) and your client (the family). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document is typically presented during the initial child care interview and is signed by both parties at the time of enrollment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why Should You Use a Contract?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Upon enrollment, a relationship is formed. Caring for, educating and loving other people’s children in your program is part of the services you are providing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A contract helps outline the services that are going to be provided and defines the actions agreed upon by both the provider and the parent(s). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
