Starting daycare is an exciting milestone for your little one. At QuickVisit Urgent Care, we make getting the required physical exam simple and stress-free. Our caring providers across six Iowa communities understand that busy parents need convenient, affordable healthcare that works around their schedule – not the other way around.

Since 2021, we’ve been helping Iowa families navigate daycare requirements with comprehensive physicals that ensure your child is healthy, happy, and ready to learn. With no appointment needed and clinics open 7 days a week, we’re here when you need us – even if that’s Sunday afternoon before Monday enrollment.

What’s Included in Our Daycare Physical Exam

Every daycare physical at QuickVisit is thorough, efficient, and designed to meet all enrollment requirements. Our experienced providers conduct:

• Complete medical history review including developmental milestones
• Physical measurements: height, weight, BMI calculations
• Vision and hearing screenings appropriate for your child’s age
• Head-to-toe physical examination checking overall health
• Development assessment including motor skills and growth patterns
• Form completion for all daycare-required documentation

We take time to answer your questions and address any concerns about your child’s health or development. If additional documentation is needed, we’ll work directly with your daycare center to ensure all requirements are met.

Why Daycare Physicals Matter for Your Child and Community

Daycare Physicals do more than check a box for enrollment – they’re an essential part of keeping Iowa’s youngest residents healthy and thriving.

Supporting Your Child’s Healthy Development

Regular physical exams help identify potential health or developmental concerns early, when intervention is most effective. During your visit, our providers carefully evaluate your child’s growth trajectory, ensuring they’re meeting appropriate milestones. We check everything from basic vital signs to coordination and social development markers.

These assessments give you valuable insight into your child’s health and provide peace of mind as they enter group learning environments.

Protecting Our Iowa Communities

By ensuring children are healthy before entering daycare, these physicals help prevent the spread of illness in group settings. This protects not just your child, but all the children and staff in the facility – something we take seriously as members of these same small Iowa communities.

Documentation That Opens Doors

Proper health documentation isn’t just required – it ensures daycare providers can best support your child’s needs. We complete all necessary forms accurately and thoroughly, preventing delays in enrollment or participation.

When to Schedule Your Child’s Daycare Physical

While we welcome walk-ins 7 days a week, planning ahead ensures a smooth enrollment process:

• New enrollment: Schedule 2-3 weeks before your start date
• Annual updates: Most daycares require yearly physicals
• Changing providers: New facilities often need updated documentation
• After illness or injury: Some conditions require medical clearance

Need it done today? No problem. Our urgent care services mean we can accommodate last-minute needs, including evenings and weekends.

Beyond Daycare: Comprehensive Pediatric Services

When you visit QuickVisit for a daycare physical, you’re establishing care with providers who can support your child’s health year-round. We offer:

• School and sports physicals for older siblings
• Camp Physicals for summer programs
• Sick visits when illness strikes (because it always seems to happen at the worst times)
• Minor injury treatment for those inevitable playground mishaps
• On-site testing including strep, flu, COVID, and mono

Many families find it convenient to schedule multiple children’s physicals during the same visit, saving time and reducing stress.

What to Bring to Your Child’s Daycare Physical

To ensure a smooth visit, please bring:

• All forms provided by your daycare center
• Your child’s vaccine records (we review records but only provide tetanus and flu vaccines)
• List of current medications (if any)
• Insurance card (Or $159 for our self-pay pricing)
• Any previous medical records if new to our practice

Don’t have all the paperwork? Don’t worry – we can often obtain what’s needed or work with your daycare directly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Daycare Physicals

Do I need an appointment?
No appointment necessary! We welcome walk-ins 7 days a week at all six Iowa locations. However, you can call ahead if you prefer to minimize wait time.

How long does the exam take?
Most daycare physicals take less than 30 minutes with the provider. Our goal is to have you in and out in under an hour total, including check-in and any necessary paperwork.

What ages do you see?
We provide care from birth through adulthood – there’s no age too young or too old for our services.

Can you update vaccinations during the visit?
We offer seasonal flu shots and tetanus vaccines (for injuries). For other immunizations, we’ll provide referrals to appropriate providers and document your child’s current vaccination status.

What if my child needs additional testing?
We perform many tests on-site, with results in about 15 minutes. For specialized lab work, we partner with an outside laboratory (billed separately), with results typically available in 5-7 business days.

Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. Our self-pay rate of $159 includes the complete physical exam and all required documentation. We also offer a sliding scale fee discount based on household size and income.
