I have one. Parents fill out what they gave the child, when and why.

I have them sign and date it.

I also make sure they know (via my illness policy) that if they should give their child ANYTHING not recommended for their child's age etc (such as Benedryl) without a doctor's written permission, I WILL report it to CPS as it is NOT ok to do.

Here is the med log I use.

If a parent told me AFTER the fact that they gave their child something before daycare and didn't tell me, they would be given a warning or possible termination. They know this ahead of time too.

I know it is impossible to guarantee that all parents are telling the truth so I make do with what I can do and what I can do is have the log and not have anything on site so if something happened, it would be traced back to the parent and not me....kwim?
