Spotlight Form: The Daycare Enrollment Form

Streamline the collection of child care information, parent/guardian contact information, daycare documentation, and permissions, with digital forms and online form sharing

Digital daycare enrollment forms provide daycare centers with an efficient, seamless way of collecting child care information and parent/guardian permissions.

Daycare centers can easily digitize their existing paper forms or build a form from scratch within the GoFormz Template Editor and embed their online form on their website to be filled out and submitted via the Public Forms feature. This functionality significantly streamlines and expedites the enrollment process for child care service providers, allowing parents/guardians the flexibility to complete forms from the comfort of their own homes. 

Your digital daycare enrollment forms can be easily equipped with a variety of field types and logic to streamline data capture, improve the completeness and accuracy of submitted documents, and expedite the enrollment process through Automated Workflows. For example, your digital daycare enrollment forms can contain data types such as Signatures, Checkboxes, Table fields, and Drop Down menus that leverage Database fields.

Meanwhile, your digital daycare enrollment packets can include Logic to guide user data entry and ensure forms are being completed. For example, when a parent/guardian is completing the child’s preadmission health history report, not every child is going to be at the same stage of daily routines or have the exact same developmental history. Rather than developing numerous forms or including additional fields that might generate confusion when completing the form, utilize Conditional Logic to populate additional fields based on the user’s data entry. If the parent selects “yes” for their child being toilet trained, then an additional box will populate that Requires the user to provide more context about when they were trained and for how long. This functionality allows form creators the ability to multiple variations of the same form by dynamically changing as well as means the user no longer needs to fill out fields that do not pertain to them.

Once the digital daycare enrollment form is submitted and ready to be evaluated, child care providers can evaluate enrollment packets in real-time with the ability to integrate into business applications and Automated Workflows. For example, once a parent/guardian has completed the packet, the packet can be automatically routed to specific integrated apps, and copies of PDFs can be emailed to parents simultaneously, leveraging form data to dynamically choose each form’s destination.

This functionality drastically expedites workflows and improves the enrollment process for both child care service providers and customers. If there are numerous collaborating child care providers that require certain aspects of the enrollment forms, by leveraging Triggers, those team members can receive specific aspects of the document, reducing opportunities for confusion and human error while enhancing team collaboration.

Key features to include in your Daycare Enrollment Forms:

  • Automated form routing – Instead of having to manually deliver specific forms to certain team members, leverage Automatic Workflows to transfer relevant forms to colleagues to reduce opportunities for confusion.

  • Public Forms – Share links to your online forms with users outside of your GoFormz account for them to fill out, sign, and complete.

  • Electronic SignaturesStreamline authorizations and improve professionalism by equipping your digital forms with Signature fields. 

  • Conditional LogicThink of Conditional Logic as an ‘if/then’ statement for your form. This means that your forms can be a “one size fits all” document, eliminating the need to create multiple variations of the same form by dynamically changing to meet the needs of the user's input.

  • Integrations – Connect your GoFormz account to your other business applications and enrich your systems with real-time data.
