Release Form
I understand that Yaamahana has video cameras and video equipment that records the daily
activities throughout the facility. These video recordings are conducted for the protection of
the children and staff.
I understand that at various times throughout the year, the staff of Yaamahana will be taking
digital images, photographs, videotapes, and/or audiotapes of the children for educational
purposes (e.g. presentations to train Yaamahana staff) and decoration purposes (e.g. posting
pictures on bulletin boards, in cubbies, etc.).
I understand that parents are also allowed to come into the center and observe, photograph,
videotape, and/or audiotape children.
I, the undersigned, do hereby grant or deny permission to Yaamahana to use the image of my
child, _________________________, as marked by my selection(s) below. Such use
includes the display, distribution, publication, transmission, or otherwise use of photographs,

materials that include, but may not be limited to, printed materials such as brochures and
newsletters, videos, and digital images such as those on the Chitimacha Tribal Web site and
the Franklin Banner Tribune. No child will be observed, video-taped, recorded, or
photographed without the supervision of a child care provider and the authorization of
Yaamahana’s Director or Director Designee.
