Childcare enrollment inquiry form template
This six-step childcare inquiry form asks the child’s age group, the type of care, the preferred location, the start date and any notes, followed by the contact details. Clone it into your Growform account and name your centers.
What the form asks, step by step
Parents looking for care want to know whether there is a place for their child. The first four questions give the center everything it needs to answer that.
-
Step 1: “What age group does your child fit into?”
Age bands match the child to an infant, preschool or school-age room.
-
Step 2: “Which service are you interested in?”
Full-time, part-time, after-school or weekend care fills different places on the roster.
-
Step 3: “Which location are you considering?”
Groups with several centers can route each inquiry to the right director.
-
Step 4: “When would you like to start the service?”
Start dates help the director plan intake and waiting lists.
-
Step 5: More information
Parents can mention allergies, siblings or schedules they need to fit.
-
Step 6: “How shall we contact you?”
Name, email and phone come last.
-
After submitting
The default thank-you can be reworded to invite parents to book a tour of the center.
Who it’s for
Daycare centers, nursery groups and after-school programs use this template on their enrollment page. It comes before the formal childcare registration form and tells you whether a family fits the rooms and schedules you have open. Groups running several centers can use the location step to send each inquiry straight to the right director.
Why this structure converts
- Parents answer questions about their child and their schedule, which feels natural rather than administrative.
- The location step makes a single form work for a group of centers.
- Start-date answers help directors plan places and follow up with families at the right time.

-
Replace the location placeholders
The location step lists “Location 1” to “Location 4”. Replace them with the names or neighborhoods of your centers before publishing.
-
Offer a tour booking
Redirect parents to a tour calendar after submission, since most families want to visit before enrolling.
-
Ask about days needed
For part-time care, add a multi-select step for weekdays so you can check availability for specific days.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a daycare enrollment form?
It is the inquiry that comes before enrollment. The daycare enrollment form, with medical, emergency contact and consent details, is completed once a place is offered.
Can one form serve several childcare centers?
Yes. The location step routes each inquiry, and you can send each center’s inquiries to its own inbox.
Where do inquiries go?
They arrive by email, and they can also be added to HubSpot, Mailchimp or a Google Sheet for follow-up.
