Why Does a Day Care Center Need Insurance?

Caring for children comes with high expectations and real liability. Insurance helps you handle injuries, parent allegations, property damage, and employee incidents without one event threatening your license, reputation, or cash flow.

What Does Day Care Center Insurance Cover?

It can cover child injuries and third-party claims, damage to your building or equipment, employee injuries, and lawsuits tied to your operations, plus income losses after a covered shutdown.

A child gets hurt during playtime

A parent alleges inadequate supervision after a fall on the playground. Coverage can help pay medical costs, legal defense, and a settlement if you are found responsible.

Allegations after a pickup dispute

A parent claims your staff released their child to the wrong adult or failed to follow an authorized pickup list. Even if the claim is unfounded, legal defense can be expensive.

A water leak forces you to close

What insurance do most California day care centers need to carry?

Most centers start with general liability and property coverage, often packaged as a business owners policy. If you have employees, California typically requires workers’ compensation. Many operators also add professional liability because supervision and care decisions can lead to allegations even when you followed procedures.
