Enrolling a child in daycare or preschool means capturing the rhythms of their day — feeding, napping, comfort items — alongside the safety information you need to keep them healthy. This template covers all of it: program type, schedule, allergies, custody arrangements, immunizations, and the authorized pickup list every center needs to keep on file.
A daycare enrollment form is the most detailed registration form most parents will ever fill out. Childcare providers need to know everything about a young child's day to keep them safe and comfortable: when they nap, what they eat, what calms them down when they're upset, who is allowed to pick them up, and what to do in a medical emergency. The form is the foundation for trust between provider and parent.
This template captures the operational reality of running a licensed childcare program. The age program selector routes infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and Pre-K students into the right room or curriculum. The schedule field handles full-time, part-time, half-day, and drop-in care. Care routine fields — toilet training, naps, feeding, comfort items — give the daily caregivers what they need to keep a child's home routine going at the center. Health fields capture allergies, medications, and pediatrician info that the center may need in an urgent situation. And the authorized pickup list — the single most important safety field on a childcare form — is required by default, because no center should ever have to guess whether the person at the door is allowed to take a child home.
formformform gives small daycares, in-home providers, and church preschools a free way to handle enrollment without buying a childcare management system. The form embeds on your website, parents can fill it out from their phone in five minutes, and you get every enrollment in your inbox immediately. There are no per-child fees, no submission caps, and no software subscriptions to renew. For small providers operating on thin margins, that matters.

formformform doesn't process payment inside the form. Most centers handle tuition through monthly auto-pay, ACH, or invoicing — and use this form purely for enrollment data.
formformform doesn't currently support file uploads, so most centers use the immunization checkbox as parent acknowledgment and then collect the actual records separately — by email, in person at the tour, or via your licensing portal.
Yes. The same fields apply whether you're a center or an in-home provider. You can simplify the form by removing the second parent section if most of your families are single-parent.
