What we offer


We provide coverage to many different types of daycare facilities including: 


  • Licensed child care centers 
  • Nursery schools
  • Montessori schools through Kindergarten
  • Preschools
  • Before-school and after-school programs


Our coverages can include:

It is recommended for commercial child care facility to have commercial general liability insurance. This essential coverage can offer insurance protection to you if you are sued by someone who claims you caused their physical injury or damaged their property.

Professional liability 
Professional liability coverage allows teachers and providers to perform their professional duties without fear of devastating lawsuits, defense costs and judgments.

Abuse and molestation liability 
Abuse and molestation is a critical coverage for hypersensitive situations. Our claims staff has experience in handling these types of claims.

If you own the building that houses your child care facility, you may want commercial property insurance to help protect both your building and its contents. If you rent, you may need property insurance to cover your valuable equipment.

Accident medical
Accident medical insurance can cover children’s medical bills if they are injured at your facility or during activities you sponsor and have no insurance of their own, or their bills exceed what their insurance pays.

Commercial auto
Automobile insurance can provide liability and physical damage coverage for the owned, leased, non-owned, and hired automobiles (such as vans, pickups, and buses) used at your facility.

Umbrella liability
Umbrella liability insurance can provide additional insurance protection that takes effect after you’ve gone above the limits of your general liability, abuse and molestation liability, professional liability, or automobile liability insurance. 

Workers compensation
A workers compensation policy can cover expenses resulting from on-the-job injuries, including lost wages and benefits, medical care and rehabilitation services, and legal representation and compliance services.

Finding the right child care center insurance is definitely not a “nap-time” activity.
