Daycare Insurance
Daycare centers, home-based childcare providers, and early childhood learning facilities face unique operational responsibilities every day—from managing child safety and food allergies to supervising indoor play, outdoor playgrounds, and educational trips. At Mowen Insurance Brokers, we deliver tailored childcare and daycare insurance solutions designed to safeguard your facility, staff, and financial stability.
Unlike buying directly from a single insurance carrier, working with an independent insurance broker gives you access to multiple insurance markets. We analyze your enrollment capacity, staffing levels, facility layout, and programs to source comprehensive coverage options tailored to your specific childcare operations.
Why Daycare Centers & Childcare Providers Need Specialized Insurance
Caring for young children carries significant duty-of-care risks. Standard commercial policies often leave critical coverage gaps regarding supervision, medical incidents, or abuse liability. Dedicated daycare insurance protects your business against:
- Slips, Trips, & Playground Injuries: Accidental falls or injuries occurring on play structures or during supervised activities.
- Property & Equipment Damage: Fire, water leaks, or vandalism affecting your facility, learning tools, sensory equipment, or commercial kitchen appliances.
- Food Allergy & Allergic Reaction Incidents: Claims resulting from accidental food contamination or unexpected allergic reactions to provided meals and snacks.
- Allegations of Negligence or Inadequate Supervision: Legal defense costs and compensation claims arising from alleged staff oversight errors.
- Child Transportation Accidents: Vehicle collisions involving company vans or shuttle buses used for field trips or school pick-ups and drop-offs.
What Child Care & Daycare Insurance Covers
We construct tailored insurance programs for childcare facilities combining core liabilities with industry-specific endorsements:
- Commercial General Liability (CGL): Covers bodily injury or property damage claims involving third parties, including parents, visitors, or contractors on your premises.
- Abuse & Molestation Liability: Essential coverage providing legal defense and liability protection against wrongful claims or allegations involving staff or volunteers.
- Commercial Property & Inventory Coverage: Shields your building, leased space, classroom furniture, toys, educational materials, and outdoor play equipment against fire, theft, or severe weather.
- Professional Liability / E&O: Covers claims alleging professional negligence in educational, developmental, or caregiving programs.
- Commercial Auto & Passenger Van Coverage: Protects vehicles owned or operated by your facility to transport children to and from school or field trips.
- Business Interruption Insurance: Replaces lost income and covers fixed operational expenses if a covered event (such as a fire or major flood) forces your daycare to close temporarily.
Tailored Coverage for Growing Daycare Businesses
As your facility expands or introduces new programs, your risk profile evolves. We customize and scale insurance solutions for a broad range of childcare operations across Ontario:
- Licensed Commercial Daycare Centers: Full-scale centers providing infant, toddler, and preschool care.
- Home-Based Childcare Providers: Licensed home daycares requiring specialized endorsements beyond personal home insurance.
- Before & After School Programs: Facilities catering to school-aged children with recreational and academic support.
- Private Preschools & Early Learning Academies: Structured early childhood education facilities.
