Capture child age and start date
Required: child name, date of birth, requested start date, schedule (full-time / part-time / drop-in days). DOB determines classroom; start date determines waitlist position.
Form template · Daycare / preschool enrollment inquiry
Quality daycares run waitlists. The enrollment inquiry form captures child age, start date, and schedule preference so the director can quote a slot — or place the family on the waitlist with realistic timing.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Daycare Enrollment Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Daycare Enrollment Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Daycare Enrollment Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: child name, date of birth, requested start date, schedule (full-time / part-time / drop-in days). DOB determines classroom; start date determines waitlist position.
Field for allergies, dietary restrictions, IEP/IFSP status, and any medical notes. Centers with peanut-free or gluten-free protocols filter at this point — saves a tour for a misaligned family.
Auto-respond with current availability — either a tour-booking Calendly link for open classrooms or a transparent waitlist position with realistic timing. Honesty here builds the trust the rest of the relationship runs on.
What's included
Daycares operate under state-mandated child-to-staff ratios (often 1:4 for infants, 1:6 for toddlers, 1:10 for preschool) which cap enrollment exactly. The result is a permanent waitlist culture — quality centers in cities have 6-18 month waitlists for infant rooms. Tuition runs $1,500-3,000/month per child. The form captures child date of birth (which determines which classroom), requested start date (which determines waitlist position), schedule (full-time / part-time / drop-in), and allergies / medical notes. The director's reply quotes a tour slot or a waitlist position — both are real outcomes that the family appreciates over a generic 'we'll be in touch'.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
COPPA applies to online services directed at children under 13 — daycare enrollment forms are directed at parents, not children, so they're outside COPPA's primary scope. Still, treat child data carefully: don't collect more than needed (no SSN, no medical detail beyond allergies on the public form), and keep the formal enrollment paperwork on a secure portal.
Use the date-of-birth field to auto-route in your webhook — under 12 months goes to the infant room director, 12-24 to toddlers, 2+ to preschool. Each director gets their own queue and waitlist.
Yes — webhook the JSON. All four childcare CRMs accept inbound leads via Zapier. Lead lands as a prospective family with child age, start date, and contact info ready for the tour invitation and formal enrollment.
Show the tuition range (e.g. '$1,800-2,400/month depending on classroom and schedule'). Hidden pricing in childcare is read as suspicious — parents budget tightly and need to know upfront. Transparent pricing reduces tour-no-shows by 40%.
