A daily report should answer the questions a family will ask at pickup without turning ordinary care into a long narrative. The general report covers meals, rest, toileting, activities, outdoor time, mood, and supplies. The infant report adds bottle amounts, solid foods, diaper events, bowel movements, naps, tummy time, and infant-specific handoff details.

The daily sheet supports routine communication without turning every ordinary detail into a permanent narrative. It is designed for toddlers and older children; the infant daily report provides bottle, diaper, nap, and tummy-time tracking.
Infant care often depends on event times and amounts that the general daily report cannot capture cleanly. This sheet creates an at-a-glance timeline while leaving medication, health plans, and injuries on their dedicated records.
Use this infant-specific daily sheet to track bottle times and amounts, solid foods, diapers and bowel movements, naps, tummy time, activities, mood, supplies, and parent-provider handoff notes.
Bottle amounts, nap times, meals, and toileting are easier to record accurately as they happen. An end-of-day reconstruction tends to lose times and amounts. Use staff initials so the family knows which caregiver can answer a follow-up question.
A daily sheet may mention that a formal accident or medication record was completed, but it should not become the only record of a dose, injury, health change, or custody issue. That separation helps the right record receive the right review and retention.
Give the report only to an authorized adult or through the program's approved private channel. Move sensitive family concerns to a conversation. Do not display completed reports where another family can read them.
Preview planned branding, editable fields, reusable versions, and an organized document hub.
Choose a few concrete experiences and care details that help the family understand the day. More words are not always more useful.
Use the separate medication administration log as the formal record. A daily report can reference it for the handoff.
The distinction helps families understand what was prepared and what the infant actually took.
Classify them under your state and program policy; reports connected to medication, incidents, funding, or complaints may require different handling.
