Contract & Policy

Quick question.
Is everything that is on your contact, written in your policy too? (thanks)

My contract is a very basic one page thing, it's basically a payment arrangement. On the contract, they sign and agree to abide by all of the items in my parent handbook, and then I have them sign each topic area of the parent handbook. They get a blank copy for themselves, but I keep all the signed stuff.

Same here ( I don't have them sign my handbook, but I should!)

Licensing/QRIS makes us have a philosophy page, contract, policy, application (our own or state one), not to mention the immunizations form, signed/dated emergency drill/evacation plan for everything from tornadoes to earthquakes, flu information form signed/dated. I add in a photo release copy, emergency release form, and child insurance info. All this has to be done annually.

Yeah, since QRIS my handbook of policies has grown considerably.

I can't imagine parents actually having to read the whole thing.


My contract is one page. It outlines that family's rate, the hours they need and makes a few statements about the parent and provider discussing the policies and the parent stating they understand and agree to them.

[e.j.]

My contract is also one page. It includes the child's scheduled days/hours of attendence and rate per hour. There is also a paragraph that states that the parent has read my handbook and agrees to follow all policies outlined in it. (Parents initial each page of the handbook to indicate they've read it.) They sign the contract and get a copy of both it and the handbook. I keep the originals that are signed and initialed.
