An easy and convenient way to create a thorough Child Care Contract is with LawDepot’s template. It’s customizable to suit your needs.
When using our Child Care Contract template, make sure to include:
Specify the childcare services, such as providing meals, learning activities, and supervision practices.
Next, state who is providing the child care services, including whether it’s an individual or an organization. Also, provide the client’s information. You may include the names and ages of the children being cared for, if necessary.
You’ll also want to specify your contract's billing rate and the payment schedule. The contract also needs to include invoicing information for the client and any necessary or reasonable expenses they will be responsible for reimbursing.
Additionally, include any additional sales tax or duties the client must pay.
Specific clauses and terms
Adding terms that protect the client and childcare provider from legal risks is vital. Our template allows you to add the following clauses to your Child Care Contract:
- The Duty of Care clause is an explicit statement which sets out the duty owed by childcare providers to the children in their care.
- The Limitation of Liability clause may limit the damages or losses from a lawsuit if a client takes legal action against the childcare provider.
- The Confidentiality clause describes permissions toward private client information, such as whether or not the child care provider can share confidential information after the contract ends.
