A daycare incident report is a report used by individuals caring for children at a daycare, preschool, or other childcare center to document the details of an incident. Examples of incidents include violent behavior, bullying, and injury.
The report should contain information about the incident, who was involved, when it happened, who was on duty, and what that adult did to address the situation.
The report serves as a record for the parents of the children involved in the incident, a means of tracking patterns for medical professionals, and legal and financial protection for the child care center.
