Daycare Sign In and Out SheetPrint a daily sheet with room for a parent’s signature at drop-off and at pick-up. No sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded.

How to make a daycare sign in and out sheet

1. 1

   Add your daycare’s name and the date

   Type your name or logo at the top. They print on every page. Leave the date empty if you want a line to write it by hand each day.

2. 2

   Check the columns

   The sheet starts with the child’s name, the parent or guardian, time in, signature in, time out and signature out. Rename, widen or remove any column.

3. 3

   Print a stack

   Type the children’s names into the names box so they print in the first column, or leave it empty for blank rows. Rows are tall enough to sign in. Print one page per day.

What to put on a daycare sheet

• The child’s name, so the right row is signed
• The parent or guardian who brings the child, and who collects them
• Time in and time out, written by hand or by the parent
• A signature at drop-off and another at pick-up
• The date at the top of the page, and your daycare’s name

Ask only for what you need

Everyone who signs can read the rows above theirs, so keep health details, allergies and anything private off this sheet. Keep those on a separate form that stays with you. This is not legal advice: what a child care provider must record and how long to keep it depends on your state or country, so check your state’s rules.

Tips

• Print a fresh page each morning and keep it on a clipboard by the door, with a pen on a string.
• If more than one adult collects children, add a column for “Picked up by”.
• At closing time, check that every child who is signed in has been signed out.
• File the finished pages by date in a folder, away from where parents can read them.
