Frequently asked questions
Daycare Handbook and Contract Builder is document-assembly software, not a law firm. It is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. It is not affiliated with or approved by any state licensing agency. Rule citations show which licensing rule a section relates to, as checked on the date shown; they are not a statement that your documents meet that rule. Your licensing agency decides that, and an attorney can advise you.
Texas, California and Florida home daycares get a checklist of the sections each state's licensing rules ask for, with the rule number and a link to the official text. Every other state except North Carolina uses a core set of sections and shows a notice that we have not mapped that state's rules yet. We do not sell to North Carolina.
The first version is built for licensed or registered home-based child care, including large family homes. Centers can use the generic mode but are not what we are designing for.
No. Every wording option is written in advance by us, in plain English. Your handbook is a fixed assembly of the options you choose and the facts you enter. The same answers always produce the same document.
You email each parent a private link, or copy the link and send it yourself. They read the whole document in their browser, agree to use electronic records, type their full name and confirm. We keep the name, email, time, IP address, browser, document version and its SHA-256 fingerprint, and add a signature certificate to the signed PDF. The link works for 30 days.
You go back to Free. You keep read access to everything you made and to every signature, forever. You can only add more than one family or send more than one signature request on the Provider Pack.
Free for the builder, one family and one signature request. The Provider Pack is $49 a year, billed once a year by card. There is no monthly plan, trial or coupon.
Only what a contract needs: the child's first and last name, start date, schedule and tuition. No birth dates, health information, medication records, photos or custody papers, and we never accept uploads about a child.
No. Rule citations show which licensing rule a section relates to, as checked on the date shown. Your licensing agency decides whether your documents meet a rule, and an attorney can advise you.
