Add-Ons
Abuse & Molestation Coverage
Childcare unfortunately comes with the risk of sexual misconduct allegations, which can be devastating to small businesses. Abuse and Molestation Coverage is not always included in professional or general liability insurance, but can be added on to ensure any associated legal costs will be taken care of.
Corporal Punishment Coverage
In the case that an employee is accused of hitting a child in your care, your business could be held liable. Claims of corporal punishment being administered, even if baseless, can rack up high legal costs that Corporal Punishment Coverage can take care of.
Extra Expense Coverage
After properties have experienced a physical loss, like a natural disaster, Commercial Property Insurance may cover the costs to repair the location, but will not cover the costs of moving to a temporary location to keep business running without Extra Expense Coverage.
Bundles
Many insurance plans are commonly bundled together for simplicity and a cheaper rate.
Business owner’s policy (BOP)
A popular option for small businesses like daycares that combines Commercial General Liability insurance with Commercial Property insurance, usually at a cheaper price than if the two were purchased separately.
