Daycare Incident Escalation Form

Managing serious incidents at your daycare or childcare center requires clear documentation, immediate escalation, and proper regulatory reporting. This Daycare Incident Escalation Form provides a structured way to capture critical details about child injuries, staff supervision failures, and safety concerns that require executive review and potential licensing authority notification.

Built specifically for childcare administrators, center directors, and early education professionals, this template ensures you collect all essential information—from incident timelines and injury descriptions to witness statements and immediate actions taken. The form's conditional logic adapts based on incident severity, automatically prompting for additional documentation when regulatory reporting may be required.

Whether you're managing a single daycare center or overseeing multiple locations, Paperform gives you the flexibility to customize fields for your state's licensing requirements while maintaining consistent incident documentation across your organization. Forms can be submitted securely from any device, with automatic notifications sent to your executive director, risk management team, and compliance officers.

Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your incident response workflow—route high-severity incidents directly to leadership, trigger follow-up tasks for staff training reviews, notify your insurance carrier, and create a complete audit trail that demonstrates your commitment to child safety and regulatory compliance.

This template helps childcare providers maintain the highest standards of safety documentation, protect children and families, and ensure full transparency with licensing authorities when serious incidents occur.
