Intake Forms and E-Signatures for Childcare Providers

Enrollment paperwork doesn’t have to feel like paperwork.

Create warm, organized intake forms that help families submit details, sign digitally, and move through enrollment with less back-and-forth. With flexible forms, you can collect the right information, guide parents step by step, and keep everything looking polished and professional. Breely supports customizable form sections, required fields, branded styling, previews before sharing, and digital signatures with timestamps and downloadable PDF copies.

Make Enrollment Easier for Families

Parents are busy. Your forms should help, not slow them down.

Use intake forms to collect the details you need in a clean, parent-friendly flow, including:

• Child and parent contact information
• Emergency contacts
• Medical notes and allergies
• Authorized pickup details
• Program preferences
• Consent and policy acknowledgments

Forms can be organized into clear sections with a final thank-you page, and you can mark important questions as required so nothing essential gets missed.

Capture E-Signatures with Confidence

When a signature is added to a form, the submission becomes digitally signed, timestamped, and uneditable. You can also download a PDF copy of the signed form, which is especially helpful for consent forms, policy agreements, and enrollment records.

That means less printing, less scanning, and a lot less “I thought I already signed that.”

A few smart uses for e-signatures in childcare:

• Enrollment agreements
• Photo release forms
• Medication consent forms
• Field trip permissions
• Handbook acknowledgments

Build Smarter Forms, Not Longer Ones

Every family is different, and your forms can reflect that.

Breely forms support conditional logic, so questions or sections can appear based on earlier answers. For example, you can show follow-up questions only when a parent indicates a child has allergies, needs medication, or is attending for the first time.

You can also:

• Reorder questions and sections easily
• Preview the full form before sharing
• Add your logo, colors, fonts, and background styling
• Create multiple forms for different programs or enrollment needs

Stay Organized After Submission

A great intake form doesn’t stop at “submit.”

Breely includes automation options that can send emails or texts after a form is submitted, and conditional sends can help tailor communication based on form responses. That’s useful for confirming receipt, sending next steps, or keeping your internal workflow moving without extra manual effort.

You can share forms with a direct link or embed them on your website, making it simple for families to complete enrollment wherever it works best for them.

Give Parents a Smoother First Experience

First impressions matter, especially when families are choosing care for their children.

A clear intake process helps your business feel:

• Professional
• Trustworthy
• Easy to work with
• Ready for real-life parent schedules

Digital forms and e-signatures help you spend less time chasing paperwork and more time welcoming new families.
