CFS 62 Form - Fill Out Wisconsin Child Care Enrollment PDF

CFS 62 Child Care Enrollment Form Details

The CFS-62 form was issued by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services, Division of Children and Family Services. It was last revised in January 2005. The form is required for enrolling children in family child care centers, group child care centers, day camps, and certified day care homes. State regulations (HFS 45, HFS 46, HFS 55, and DWD 55) require the completed form on file before a child's first day. It must be updated any time the child's information changes.

What Information Does the CFS 62 Form Collect?

Parents or guardians fill out the CFS-62 to give the care facility the details it needs to keep the child safe. The form captures six categories of information:

• Child's personal details - full legal name, date of birth, and home address
• Parent or guardian contact info - name, address, daytime and evening phone numbers
• Emergency contacts - at least two people who can be reached when parents are unavailable, with their relationship noted
• Authorized pickup persons - names of all adults permitted to pick up the child from the facility
• Medical information - health insurance details, known allergies, and current medical conditions
• Parental permissions - consent for medical care, field trips, swimming, and contact with animals at the facility
