Annual policy update: Review and refresh your handbook each year before your new enrollment cycle. Update tuition rates, holiday schedules, and any policies that changed.
Licensing inspection prep: Make sure your written policies cover everything your state licensor expects to see — health exclusions, emergency procedures, discipline philosophy, and more.
Onboarding new families: Give every enrolling family a clear, complete handbook that sets expectations from day one. A professional handbook builds trust and reduces misunderstandings.

Review your handbook at least once a year — ideally before the start of your enrollment cycle. Update it any time you change a policy (tuition rates, holiday schedule, health protocols, etc.) and redistribute to all enrolled families.
