 Registration Forms

Registration Forms

Upon completing your child’s program registration, you will receive an email request from ePACT to complete our required childcare related forms and documents. ePACT replaces our paper registration form(s), consents, and waivers used to collect critical childcare related information while your child is in our programs. Your child will only be registered and able to attend our programs once the registration and payment forms and ePACT records are considered complete.

*if you previously completed and shared your child’s ePACT record for us, you will not receive another invitation to complete. Please ensure you review your child’s record and make any updates as necessary. 

Electronic forms & documents: epactnetwork.com (add to your Bookmarks or Favorites)
