Privacy
The most important aspect of a release form is ensuring the child’s privacy by outlining to the parents the intended use. A daycare may use photographs of children under their care for the following reasons:
- Keep track of progress
- Document activities
- Classroom photo albums
- School newsletter, website, or social media
- Promotion of childcare services
The parents can then choose which permissions they are comfortable authorizing.
