I've been doing daycare for almost 12 years and would like to spice up and redo my contract/policies. I've searched online for samples but haven't really found any that I like that much. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share theirs with me? I would really appreciate it. thanks

If you click on the tags at the bottom left of the page you will find similar threads. I know there are some that have contract and policies that you can draw from.I've been doing daycare for almost 12 years and would like to spice up and redo my contract/policies.

If you have a client for a long time and you update things in your policy do you give a new contract to everyone? I have a couple families that have been with me for 4 years and I would like to give them an updated contract but I also wouldn't want to change a couple things on them, such as for the last 3 years I've charged for the major holidays but these 2 clients are on my old contract and do not, I don't want to change that on them so would you just write in theirs waived or would you just not give them a new contract? I dont' have any issues with either of these families so I'm a little hesitant to give them one. Do you just have them sign the policies/handbook then give them a copy and then you keep a copy for your records? Mine is only 2 1/2 pages so I have always had them initial at the bottom of each page and sign the back then I photo copy it for them for their reference? Just curious as to what others do. thanks

I have run into the same issue. As long as everything in the contract is the same for the parents I do not change the contract. My licensor is ok with that, so as long as shes happy I am as well. I think for legality that contracts should be resigned and updated every so often. So as I am nearing 3 years with a couple of families I will be giving them the new contracts. I plan to cross through and have both the parents and myself initial those changes you were talking about.

I had out a new contract & policy to everyone at the end of the yr & it needs to be returned the beginning of Jan. I highlight what has changed from the previous year.
