Scenarios where

Daycares & Pre-schools Need Insurance

Imagine a child enrolled in a daycare centre sustains a serious injury while playing on the playground equipment. The child’s parents could file a lawsuit against the daycare, alleging negligence in maintaining safe premises. In this case, public liability insurance would be crucial to cover legal expenses, medical bills, and potential settlements.

During a severe storm, a tree falls onto the daycare facility, causing significant damage to the building’s roof and interior. Business Property insurance would be essential to cover the costs of repairing the damage, ensuring the daycare can continue its operations without incurring substantial financial losses.

A parent accuses one of the preschool teachers of inappropriate conduct with their child. In such a sensitive situation, Professional Indemnity Insurance (E&O insurance) would be invaluable in covering legal defense costs and potential settlements related to allegations of misconduct by staff members, even if the claims are ultimately found to be unsubstantiated.
