What to include

What goes on a Daycare invoice?

🧸

Tuition per child and schedule

Bill tuition per child at your weekly or monthly rate, and note the schedule (full-time vs. part-time). If you care for siblings, list each child so parents see the breakdown.

📅

Billing period, paid in advance

Childcare is usually billed in advance for the upcoming week or month. State the period clearly so parents know exactly what each invoice covers.

🧾

Registration, supplies, and late fees

Registration, supply, and late-pickup fees are common add-ons. Itemize them so the total is transparent and parents understand each charge.

🧮

Tax ID for parent records

Parents often need a receipt with your Tax ID (EIN) for dependent-care FSA reimbursement and the child-care tax credit. Note that the invoice doubles as that receipt.

Pro tips

Daycare invoicing tips that get you paid faster

  • Bill tuition in advance (the upcoming week or month) and state the period - it keeps cash flow steady and expectations clear.

  • List each child separately for families with siblings so the breakdown is transparent.

  • Include your Tax ID/EIN on the invoice; parents need it for dependent-care FSA and the child-care tax credit.

  • Set and state a late-pickup fee with a per-occurrence rate so it’s enforceable and predictable.

  • Use recurring invoices for tuition so the same bill goes out automatically every week or month.
