Managing lost and found items is a daily reality for daycare centers and early childhood facilities. From misplaced jackets and lunchboxes to forgotten toys and comfort items, keeping track of found belongings and reuniting them with the right families requires a systematic approach that supports both staff efficiency and parent communication.

This **Daycare Center Found Item Report Form** gives childcare providers a streamlined way to document every found item with detailed descriptions, classroom locations, and finder information. Staff can quickly log items as they're discovered, attach photos for easy identification, and maintain accurate records that satisfy licensing and compliance requirements.

The form captures essential details including the specific classroom or area where the item was found, the staff member who discovered it, and a thorough description of the item itself. This creates a clear audit trail that helps administrators track patterns, manage storage, and ensure items are returned to the correct families promptly.

**Paperform** makes this process simple and accessible for busy daycare staff. The mobile-friendly design means teachers can submit found item reports directly from their phones during naptime or transitions, without leaving the classroom. Conditional logic guides staff through the reporting process, and automatic email notifications can alert administrators and help coordinate parent pickups.

For centers managing multiple classrooms or locations, this template provides the structure needed to maintain organized records while staying compliant with state licensing requirements. You can even connect the form to **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automate follow-up workflows—like sending parent notifications, creating pickup reminders, or archiving unclaimed items after a set period.

Whether you're running a small home daycare or a large early learning center, this found item report form helps you provide excellent family service while maintaining the professional documentation that licensing agencies expect. With Paperform's customizable design, you can match your center's branding and create a seamless experience that keeps everyone informed and connected.
