Toddler daily report template
The one-page version of a toddler's day: what they ate, how potty learning went, whether they slept, and the small win worth mentioning at pickup.
- Family fills the left column at drop-off, staff fill the right column through the day
- Meals grid with all, some, or none, so you are not writing a sentence about every snack
- Potty log with tried, went, and accident columns for children in the middle of learning
- Your logo goes on it, not ours
PDF, one page, letter size. Print it or type into it on your computer.

Built around what parents of toddlers actually ask
Meals and snacks
Four rows for breakfast, both snacks, and lunch, with a check for how much they ate rather than a paragraph.
Potty and diapering
Tried, went, accident, and notes. It works for a child in underwear, in pull-ups, or somewhere in between.
Nap
Down, up, and a line for rested well or quiet time only, which is the honest answer some days.
What we did today
Books, music, art, sensory play, outside. Checked, not written, so it takes a second at cleanup.
Medication from home
Medicine, amount, and time, filled in by the family before drop-off so the handoff is documented.
Please send tomorrow
Pull-ups, wipes, clothes, nap blanket, water bottle. Check a box instead of remembering at 5pm.
Three things that keep a toddler sheet useful
Toddler rooms move fast. The sheet has to survive a room with eight two-year-olds in it, which means short entries and a fixed place to write them.
Fill it at the transition, not the end. After lunch, after nap, after outside time. Four small stops beat one long reconstruction.
Be specific about eating. Ate most of the pasta, skipped the peas is useful. Ate well tells a parent nothing they can act on.
Say the win out loud. First time telling a friend to stop, first dry afternoon, first zipper. Parents remember these more than the totals.
Toddler daily reports, answered
Do toddlers still need a daily sheet?
Licensing rules vary, and many states require less written detail for toddlers than for infants. Families still want the day, though, and a short sheet keeps drop-off and pickup conversations concrete instead of vague.
How do we handle potty accidents on paper?
Log the time and a short factual note, and skip any judgment language. The page goes home to a parent who is already anxious about it, so keep it plain.
Can we add our own activity list?
Yes. Cross out what you do not use and write in your own. If you want a version with your own activity names printed on it, email us and we will send one.
Is there an app version of this?
Yes. In My Childcare App the same entries are taps, and parents see meals, naps, and photos as they happen instead of reading a page in the parking lot.
The same sheet, logged in taps and sent as it happens
Meals, potty, naps, and photos go to the family in real time. No stack to print, nothing to transcribe at the end of the day.
