What Makes a Great Child Care Insurance Program?
Not all insurance programs are created equal, so choose carefully. Here's what to look for in a great child care insurance program:
|
General Liability Insurance
Umbrella Liability Insurance
General Liability Insurance
We offer limits up to $1 million
per occurrence/$3 million aggregate. Per
occurrence is the maximum amount the insurance carrier will pay for each
covered claim. Aggregate is the maximum amount they will
pay for all covered claims combined.
Umbrella Liability insurance provides
additional protection that takes effect after you’ve gone above
the limits of your General Liability or Automobile Liability
insurance. We offer
limits up to $10 million.
Corporal Punishment Liability:
Defends you against allegations of
corporal punishment to the children in your care, even when
groundless, false, or frivolous. Many insurance policies don’t
offer this much-needed coverage.
Sexual Abuse and Molestation
Liability: Offers critical
coverage for situations that can be explosive. Our claims staff
has expertise in handling these types of claims and is sensitive
to the needs of all parties involved.
Child Care Providers and Teachers
Professional Liability:
Allows teachers and providers to perform their professional
duties without fear of devastating lawsuits, defense costs, and
judgments. Without it, you could end up footing the bill alone.
Child Abduction Liability:
Pays reasonable and necessary
covered expenses the school or center and the child's parents
incur to recover the child.
Special Events Liability:
Protects you from liability during field
trips, fund-raisers, and other special events. Our insurance
carriers don’t make you
buy a separate policy for most special activities.
Volunteers as Additional Insureds:
When your facility uses volunteers,
they’re acting on your behalf. This insurance defends their
unintentional negligent acts as it defends those of your
employees. If
you own the building that houses your child care facility, you
need property insurance to protect both your building and its
contents. If you rent, you need property insurance to cover your
valuable equipment. Coverage is available on a special
cause of loss basis, which means you’re covered for events like
fire, burglaries, vandalism, and even frozen pipes.
Systems Breakdown:
Protects you when any mechanical,
electrical, or pressure system breaks down. This includes
heating and air conditioning systems, computers, boilers,
refrigerators, hot water heaters, and telephone systems.
Crime:
Covers you if an employee steals money,
securities, or other property.
Communicable Disease and Food
Contamination: Additional
coverage that can be included when Business Income is purchased.
Commercial Property Plus
Extension: Additional
limits and extensions for coverages such as Accounts Receivable,
Employee Dishonesty, Ordinance or Law, and Utility Services.
Key Employee Replacement:
Helps you get back to business as quickly
as possible following the loss of a key staff member. Provides
the funds for a temporary replacement, and to find a qualified
permanent replacement.
Accident Medical insurance will pay
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. You can
think of Accident Medical insurance as a goodwill gesture—by
paying a child's medical bills now, you may be able to avoid a
lawsuit later.
Automobile insurance provides complete liability and
physical damage coverage for the owned, leased, non-owned, and
hired automobiles (such as vans, pickups, and buses) used at
your facility. Limits up to $1 million available.
