Enrolling a new family at a daycare or preschool still runs on paper. You print a stack of forms, hand over an enrollment packet, then chase parents for weeks — a missing signature here, a blank immunization date there, the same child's name written out fifteen times. By the time it's all complete, you've re-typed half of it into your system yourself.

So we rebuilt the whole thing. MyKidReports' new Enrollment Packets, with SmartLink, live right inside Admissions — and they take a family from a blank form to fully enrolled without a single sheet of paper. Build it, smart-link it, share it, and families enroll from their phone in minutes. Here's the full flow, start to finish.

Start free — try it in Admissions

Step 1 · Build — make any form fillable

Start with the paperwork you already use. Drop in any PDF — your daycare registration form, a state enrollment form, your family handbook — and tap "Detect fields automatically." MyKidReports scans the document, finds every blank, and matches each one to the student profile; you just review and save. Prefer to do it by hand? Choose "I'll place them myself" and drop fields exactly where you want them. Either way, your paperwork becomes a clean, fillable online enrollment form in a couple of minutes — no rebuilding from scratch, no fighting with Adobe just to add fields.

Step 2 · SmartLink — fields that fill themselves

This is the part that changes everything. Open any field's settings — label, position and size, "required," "staff only" — and flip on Smart link. Point it at the child's profile (for example, Student profile → Child's name) and that field fills automatically for every child and stays in sync with the profile. Enter a child's information once, anywhere in the system, and it flows into every enrollment form linked to it. Building forms and filling them is, finally, easy — and families never re-type the same details twice.

Step 3 · Share — one link, families enroll from their phone

Every packet gets one shareable enrollment link (like mykidreports.com/enroll/admission-form). It goes live the moment you turn it on — anyone with the link can enroll, and you can switch it off any time. Post it on your website, text it, or email it. Set a due date and MyKidReports automatically reminds families who haven't finished; add a registration fee and it's collected the moment they submit. Parents open the link, create their account, and complete the whole packet on their phone. That's real online daycare registration — no clunky portal, no app to download.

Step 4 · Track — watch every submission live

No more wondering who's done and who's stuck. Open the Families view and every packet is sorted into Sent, In progress, and Completed — at a glance you see who has started, who's halfway, and who's ready for you to review. Chasing enrollment becomes a quick scan instead of a week of phone calls and reminder emails.

Step 5 · Approve — review and enroll in one tap

When a family submits, open the packet and check it item by item — child information, parent / guardian details, the signed enrollment agreement, the family handbook they've read and acknowledged, the uploaded birth certificate. Approve each one, or send it back with a note. Approve the family and the child lands straight on your student roster. From packet to enrolled — in one tap, in one place.

Why it beats paper packets and generic form tools

• Built for childcare, not generic PDFs. Fields map to the child and family profiles you already keep.
• No double entry. SmartLink fills from existing data — nothing is typed twice.
• The whole journey in one place. Build, share, track, approve, and enroll without ever leaving MyKidReports.
• It's part of your plan. Admissions and enrollment are included in MyKidReports — no separate registration software to buy. Free for up to 5 children, then $0.99 per enrolled child per month.

Who it's for

Whether you run a single home daycare, a busy preschool, or a multi-site childcare center, the enrollment process is the same headache — and now the same fix. Enrollment Packets work for new-family admissions, summer-camp sign-ups, re-enrollment, and any time you need a family to fill out and sign something. If you've been searching for daycare registration software, preschool enrollment software, or just a way to make your daycare enrollment forms fillable online, this is built for you.

Childcare enrollment FAQ

Can I turn my existing daycare enrollment form into an online form?
Yes. Drop in your PDF, tap "Detect fields automatically," and MyKidReports finds the blanks and matches them to the student profile — you just review and save. No rebuilding from scratch.

Do parents need to download an app to enroll?
No. They open your enrollment link in any browser, create an account, and complete the packet on their phone.

What is an enrollment packet?
It's everything a family needs to complete to enroll — admission form, agreements, handbook acknowledgment, document uploads — bundled into one link you send, track, and approve.

Is this separate daycare enrollment software?
No. Enrollment Packets are built into Admissions in MyKidReports, right alongside billing, attendance, messaging, and the parent app.

Can it auto-fill fields that repeat on every form?
Yes — that's SmartLink. Linked fields fill from the child's profile automatically and stay in sync, so the same details are never re-typed.
