Also include policies regarding where and when children can play. For example, if you do not allow children outside a certain perimeter in the front of your building, mention that.
Supplies
Children of different ages have different needs. Include a list of supplies that you will have in stock at all times. These include diapers, Tylenol, changes of clothes for what ages and sizes, etc.

You will have certain rules regarding what the children can do and what they are expected not to do when in your care. For example, include in your contract that no child will be allowed to run inside. Also include any disciplinary actions that you will take should a child refuse to cooperate.
Running a day care center is an exciting business. However, you need to create detailed contracts that clearly describe what you, your staff and your business are responsible for and what each child's parents are responsible for. By including as many details as possible in your contracts, you can promote full communications between you and your customers while limiting any liability your business could encounter.
