Indiana licensed childcare and camp programs each have distinct health documentation requirements. Here is every form, the statutes behind each requirement, and where to get official records — all cited to Indiana state sources.

Indiana licensed childcare centers and family childcare homes are regulated by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). Per IC 20-34-4-2 and FSSA childcare licensing rules, all children enrolled in Indiana licensed childcare must have current immunization documentation on file from the first day of attendance.
Required vaccines for daycare/childcare enrollment (age-appropriate):
Indiana FSSA childcare licensing rules require licensed childcare centers and homes to have a health information form on file for each child. This form — typically called an enrollment or health history form — documents known allergies, medications, dietary needs, chronic health conditions, and emergency contacts. Per FSSA childcare licensing standards, the form must be updated annually or whenever significant health changes occur.
Indiana does not require a physician-signed physical exam for childcare enrollment at the state level. However, individual childcare centers — particularly those operating Head Start or Early Head Start programs — may require a physician health assessment as part of their intake process. Confirm requirements with your specific center before the first day.

Health form requirements for Indiana camps vary by camp type and licensing status:
For any overnight camp, request the camp's health packet well before the session start date. Many Indiana camps require forms 2–4 weeks before the session begins.

Before scheduling any medical appointments, call the daycare center or camp and get their exact list. Some accept a CHIRP print-out; others require Form 680. Camps have their own packets. Knowing the form list first prevents a second trip to the doctor.
Ask your pediatrician or local health department to retrieve your child's CHIRP history. Bring the center's health forms to the appointment so everything can be completed and signed in one visit.
Deliver completed forms to the childcare center or camp before the first day. Keep your own copies — Form 680 is the same document you'll need for school enrollment, sports physicals, and future childcare transfers.
Indiana's CHIRP registry, Form 680, FSSA health forms, and camp intake packets all pull from the same underlying health record — but gathering them is fragmented. Family Stork keeps the complete record organized so you can produce whatever any provider needs.
