Daily communication reports

[ebhappydc]

I do 2 of 5 kids communication sheet now, but have done up to 5 usually for the first year child is here as parents like them. Also helps to track allergies. On small square of ppr I write initials of child,date,all they were offered for food and stroke off what they refused, if they slept, and if they had BM. can usually stop record sheet when child has been here a year or so but some parents want longer. And some don't need them at all. Love those ones. If my child was in daycare, I'd want the record sheet for awhile. Doesn't take me long and I fill them in daycare room while kids r playing. Yes, it wouldn frustrate me too if took up quiet time. Keep them as short as possible with just the absolute necessary info. I find the parents who want a very detaiied sheet are also the ones that send me pages of notes on their child prior to care starting. Some people like a lot of documentation but for your sanity, limit info.
Oh, and I have a lot of dads picking up and mom wants record sheet as dad forgets what I've said by time they get home...
