Compliant handbooks — without the lawyer bill

Common questions

Is the free compliance check really free?

Yes. The free compliance check compares your state's current licensing requirements against the required sections of a compliant parent handbook. No credit card required. You get a report showing which sections are missing or out of date.

What's the difference between the parent handbook and the staff handbook?

The parent handbook covers everything families need to know — enrollment, tuition, policies, and procedures. It satisfies licensing requirements for family-facing documentation. The staff handbook covers employment policies, HR procedures, and operational standards for your employees. Most licensed centers need both.

How do I keep my handbook current after I buy it?

Your handbook is accurate on the day you generate it. If your state updates its licensing requirements after that date, sign up for free rule-change alerts. We email you when your state changes a rule and flag the handbook section it affects, so you can regenerate it yourself. The alerts are free — no account, no subscription.

Can I use these handbooks for family childcare or home daycare?

The Home Daycare Handbook (coming soon) is designed specifically for family childcare providers and home-based programs. The parent handbook is designed for licensed center-based childcare. Check with your state licensing agency to confirm which document type applies to your program type.
