Child information form template

About this child information form

A child information form tells a daycare, preschool, camp, nanny or relative what they need to care for a child well: parents’ contacts, who may pick the child up, health and allergies, sleep and meal routines, toilet training, comfort items and what helps when they’re upset.

Keep it updated as your child grows; routines and allergies change.
