Things to have in your handbook:
Pick up and drop off policies, sick policies, emergency (fire/earthquake)policy, quiet time policy, payment, bathroom, giving medicine, schedule, food, clothes, late payment, late pick up, description of program, subsidy, emergency contacts, missing child proceedure, abuse/neglect policy, custody and related court orders, guidance and discipline policy, and hours and operation!
This is a lot, you can e-mail me privately if you need more info on each

So Nicole I've had the same problem and needed to get my act together so I look organized and like I know what I'm doing, and I just didn't feel that was happening. So I racked my brain to say how could I make this easier? What I've done is printed off the parents interview sheet on the ccprn website I have gone through and filled it out and photocopied it, my copy will have notes of what I may want to add. However they come in and I say here read this and then we're done! No just kidding, but it helps me from blabbing about nothing and keeps me on track, I really like that I have done it. The parents are really impressed when I hand them a checklist of questions (which they may have with them) all ready done and filled out. I send that home with them with a picture of my room for a "cover" page and my card stapled on. I just found I needed a structure or plan to keep me on track. Otherwise I would go on and on! Good luck!
