Daycare Sign in Sheet Template
What Is a Daycare Sign In Sheet?
A Daycare Sign In Sheet is used by daycare centers for parents to sign in their child, informing them that they have brought in their child at a certain time.
Alternate Name:
- Childcare Sign In Sheet.
This is extremely useful and important from a safety aspect as it will allow workers to clearly see which child is present and how many children they have altogether. This information is crucial, particularly in situations when there is a fire drill for example.
The sign in sheet will also require parents to sign in the time that they pick their child up from daycare. This information is equally important as it helps daycare staff to keep track of which children have already left. It may not seem like a big deal, but this is extremely important for staff as often workers will have large groups of children and it may be very difficult to constantly keep track of who is present and who has already left in their heads.

What Does a Daycare Sign In Sheet Look Like?
All Daycare Sign In Sheets are generally more or less similar. Their structure can sometimes vary, some daycare centers opt to have a weekly Sign In Sheet for Daycare with the whole week listed straight away whilst others may go for the daily Sign In Sheet for Daycare. Below is a compiled list of things that should be included in any general Daycare Sign In Sheet:
- In the first column, write down the appropriate date to ensure that it is easier to track individuals that are present and those that are absent;
- After a child arrives with their parent(s) or other legal guardian, the daycare worker should note down the name of the child (next column) and their specific arrival time (third column) . Make sure the parent doesn't quickly run off - they will need to sign this to confirm the legitimacy of the information. There should be space to do this in the fourth column;
- Equally as important, a parent will also need to pick up their child from daycare . In the fifth column, there will be space to note down the time that the child was picked up at;
- The sixth and final column should provide space for the parent to once again add their signature . This will act as confirmation that their child was picked up.
There are several reasons for using such sheets. Firstly, it reassures the parents that the child has been met and that the daycare worker has acknowledged the fact that their child has arrived. Secondly, having proof of attendance can be crucial when looking at health records, when discussing progress or even simply just to count the number of days the child was brought in when calculating payments. Although they are not legally required in all states, it is still highly recommended to have one in a daycare.
