Liability Clause in your contract

[Suzie_Homemaker]

Release from liability with regards to what situation? Daycare insurance will not cover negligence. like instance of stair gates left open and a child falling down the stairs. Is that sort of situation you mean? Times when insurance won't pay out and we are open to being sued for negligence.

To you question - no, I don't get parent to sign a waiver. I know when my own children younger and if they went to party where one had be signed (horse riding or paint balling) I always had serious reservation about if child should go if possibility of harm so great form needed. I would not sign a form for their daily environment but seek other place. Infant, toddler and preschooler which age I take, should not be at risk on daily basis in child care situation. I can see if maybe deal with older age range that occasionally a field trip activity might need one (indoor rock climb centre) but it shouldn't be routine and child shouldn't be doing high risk activities on daily basis, IMO.

I would think parent being asked to sign waiver would raise question about level of care and supervision child be getting.

No. The whole point of daycare is to keep children safe in the absence of their parents. If parent's have to sign a waiver saying you are not responsible for their children's safety then something would seem quite off to me as a perspective parent.
