Childcare & Daycare Insurance

Childcare facility application

For daycares, preschools, learning centers, and home-based childcare. Tell us about your program with a short, slider-based application and we’ll work toward a quote. Filling this out as an agent? There’s an option for that at the top.

General liability

Generally intended to respond to third-party injury and property damage claims arising from your operations.

Abuse & molestation

A coverage many childcare programs are required to carry; evaluated as part of this application.

Property & more

Building, contents, and related coverages can be considered alongside your liability program.

Who this is for

Licensed childcare centers, preschools, Montessori and learning programs, faith-based daycares, and home-based providers all generally need liability coverage tailored to caring for children. Many states and many landlords or licensing bodies may require general liability and abuse & molestation coverage before a program can operate. This application gathers the details a carrier reviews so a licensed insurance professional can work toward an accurate quote.
