A daycare job application form for centers hiring lead teachers, assistants, and aides. Captures ECE credentials, CPR cert, background check consent, and age-group experience.

Education

About this template

This daycare job application template runs on Formester's drag-and-drop builder, sized for daycare centers, early-learning programs, and preschools hiring lead teachers, assistants, and aides.

The template captures ECE credentials (CDA, state-specific childcare licensing), CPR / First Aid certification, background-check consent, and age-group experience (infant, toddler, preschool, school-age), then routes each application to the center director.

Use conditional logic to filter applicants by required credentials (state-specific minimum: high-school diploma, CDA, associates in ECE, etc.), and to surface language / bilingual fields where the program serves multilingual families.

Every submission auto-acknowledges the applicant and routes to the director's dashboard via webhook with the completed PDF stored for licensing-audit purposes.

Questions we get a lot

Operator and signer questions about security, integrations, jurisdiction, and configuration.

Are submissions secure?
Yes. Every submission is encrypted in transit and at rest. Add a custom subdomain on paid plans so the form lives on your own URL through the entire flow.
Can I collect a resume or supporting files from the caregiver?
Yes. The template ships a file upload field with configurable size and file-type limits. PDF, DOC, DOCX, and PNG/JPG all supported.
Can I auto-acknowledge the caregiver after they submit?
Yes. Turn on Autoresponder Email so the applicant gets an acknowledgement the moment they submit. Attach the completed application as a PDF if your workflow needs it.
Can I route each submission to my ATS or CRM?
Yes. Push each submission via a webhook for real-time delivery, or use Zapier to fan out to your ATS, HRIS, and Slack. Google Sheets sync works if you just need a hiring log.
Can I disqualify applicants automatically?
Yes. Use conditional logic to route applicants based on any answer, or set fields as pass/fail to show a thanks page immediately when a hard requirement is not met.
Is a background check required for daycare teacher?
Yes, standard for anyone working with children or vulnerable adults. The template captures consent up front so the check can run in parallel with the interview process.
Can I collect CPR / First Aid certification?
Yes. The template has a certification upload field via file upload. Accepts PDF or photo of the cert card.
