Just another contract question. I’m starting a new child on Monday to replace one that moved a few states away in January. Mom and dad just dropped off the contract and all of his belongings and it got me thinking.
My contract is about 4 pages of policy and the last page has spaces for contact and emergency phone numbers and the bottom has lines for both parents to sign (or just one if I’m working with just one) and a line for myself to sign. In the past I have given them a blank contract to fill out and return with their other documents and just signed it and put it in the child’s file a few days before or in a few cases in their first day of attendance. Is this what you all do? Or do you give it back to them after you’ve signed it to make a copy if they need? Do you sign it first and then give it to them? Do you make a copy for them afterwards/should I bother if they don’t ask?
I haven’t ever had parents ask as I have so far been able to only enroll children of people I already know personally in some regard. I kind of feel it’s their responsibility to make copies but what good is a copy to them without my signature as well if I don’t sign it first?
