No matter how many kids you take or if you are licensed or not...you need a contract. make it as simple as you possibly can but it needs to have info for parents on who you are how you run things and what you expect from them and their child.
mine include:
daily sched.
nap policy
payment plan and requirements signed by parent
sched agreement signed by parent
discipline ploicy
sick policy
my mission
drop off and pick up info (including late fees)
24 hr notice for days off reminder
"trial period" notice
what I ask the parent to provide for child (sippy cups diapers clothes etc.)
attendance policy
rates (daily charges/infant charges & minimum dues)
at the back of my packet I also have a few pages of questions about the child such as likes dis likes,(food, movies/shows/music/songs etc) things that make the child happy, things that make the child sad. ask the parent to give me a all around description of the child personality.
emergency contacts
medical treatment release
dr info
in very back i have agreement to be signed that states "no calls" 'no shows" and "no pays" are all grounds for immediate termination.

hope this helps you!
