If you are a photographer or work with children in the United States, you should be aware of the paper called a “daycare photo release form” that permits legal photographing of kids. It is a photo release form signed by parents or guardians, giving consent to take photos and use them for advertising purposes.
When signing this release of liability form, parents and guardians should know that they will not get any payments for their kids’ participation in photographers’ shootings. Usually, this document is required when marketing specialists or managers of a particular daycare create a campaign promoting the business.

Typically, the daycare photo release form (or permission to photograph form for daycare) contains only one page. However, it has to contain these details:
You should ask for this form if you intend to take photos of children who attend a daycare where you work or are invited to create content.

Pass the Papers to the Kids or Parents
When you have the form template ready, the first thing you should do as a daycare representative is to pass the form to the parents (or guardians). You may ask the kids to do that or plan a parents’ meeting to issue the form to every visitor.
You should be ready to get some parents’ or guardians’ refusal when you ask them to sign the form. It is essential to define who does not mind taking pictures and who is against it.
Receive the Signed Forms Back and Archive them
When parents (or guardians) have signed the daycare photo release forms, get all the documents and archive them in the children’s records.
Take Pictures Attentively
Every time you want to take photos of the kids that attend the daycare, remember to double-check who participates in the shooting.
