Who this template is for

Daycare Photo & Video Release Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in daycare forms.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 12 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 10 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • It allows multiple selections without free text.
  • Conditional logic hides 2 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 2 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional hiding: if “May we photograph or film your child at all?” is No, “Where may we use images of your child?” is removed from the form and is never submitted.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “May we use your child's first name alongside an image?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Which name should we use?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 2 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Blanket photo permission causes trouble because a parent happy with a private daily update may not want their child on a public page. This release separates the uses, so a family can agree to some and decline others, and records the decision with a date you can point to when a newsletter goes out.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

  • Reveals questions

    If “May we use your child's first name alongside an image?” is Yes, the form reveals “Which name should we use?”.
