    Holy crap! Reggio went into research overdrive last night! Now Reggio is a magnificent researcher, but treeyholm, you can do this job two ways, the hard way or the simple way. It's completely up to you of course.

    I have a contract, medical forms, picture permission form, a receipt book, the children's daily logbook and my receipts. That's pretty much it, no fancy forms at all for injuries, etc. just open communication daily with my dcparents and good relationships with everyone. Now, if I ever run into a family who have some paranoid feelings about daycare or their children I may have to invent a couple of simple forms but I don't see myself ever accepting that kind of family into my daycare really.

    I believe that everything should be worded simply because, let's face it, my dcparents are not lawyers, they are hard-working people with a lot to handle and remember. They are juggling their working and home & family lives and I want them to remember all my rules so they had better be simple and straightforward and make sense.

    Also, I don't want to drive myself crazy with too much information and I work very long days without complicating my life more with paperwork that isn't necessary. I have field trip days, teaching days with crafts and my theme of the week books and games, etc. and I have imagination days, usually on rainy days. That is how my daycare days run, with great routines and good nutrition and fun and exercise and learning every day no matter what we are doing. So why would I drive myself crazy with excess paper? That's how I run my daycare.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
