  • Care Notebook – these pages were designed to be placed in a 3-ring binder with tabbed dividers to separate sections. These materials will help parents organize contacts and reports for their child. It is beneficial for parents to become the record keepers for their own children and not to rely upon institutional records and consents to share information.
