Is a parent handbook the same as a contract?

What order should I put the information into the contract?

I have a list so far, let me know what I'm missing and what order it should go in....
Fees
Drop-In Care
Deposit
Holidays
Closed Dates
Weather
Conferences
Immunization and Health Care Records
Becoming Sick While at Daycare
Medical Emergencies
Medication Administration
Field Trips
Meals and Snacks
Naps and Rest
Behavior Guidance
Potty Training
Confidentiality
Changes to the Policy
Pets
Vacation Days
Sources of Medical Care (911, Police, Hospital Choice)
Open Doors Policy


I removed a few categories from this Parent Handbook because it came from a daycare center my sister's kids are currently enrolled in and I need to create documents for my daycare opening next year. I like they have information on Pets because they have a pet cat at there daycare and I also have cats myself so I can easily adopt that topic!
