Keyless Entry in Home Childcare covered in policy handbook?

[M&Mgal]

This question is for Home Childcare's that have keyless entry for your door: For those of you who give each parent their own code, do you put anything in your contract about it? I'm having issues with parents thinking their code is "theirs" to give out to who-ever they have asked to pick up their child I want to add something to my contract/policy handbook about this, maybe a section where they can fill out their code (I let them pick it) and where they agree that they will not give it out to anyone. Anyone have anything like this? If so, how do you word it??

Dear Families

The code provided to you for entrance to daycare is for YOUR use only. Please do not give your code to representatives pick up or dropping off your child(ren). Please contact me when some one other than you or your spouse is picking up and I will provide instructions in regards to how to manage entrance into the child care.

Anyone giving their code to someone else for use, will have their code canceled and alternate entrance procedures will be discussed.

These rules and policies are in place for the safety of your child as well as the other children in care. Please do not assume these safety measures are negotiable or flexible.

Thank you for your consideration and respect regarding this issue.

Sincerely

Provider

Thank you Blackcat31! I'm horrible with words and have never seen this issue covered in writing

Personally, I would have what Blackcat suggested on a separate form that requires a signature or on a portion of your contract that requires initialing. Just to make sure that is actually read and not just skimmed.

That is actually exactly what I did Snowmom I added it to the "Contract Page", which is where they fill in what hours they need care and when they'll be paying.
