Our Daycare Liability Insurance Services

Flexible daycare insurance options for liability, property, staff injuries, transportation, and specialty childcare exposures.

General Liability

Protects against third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury claims that can arise from daily daycare operations, visitors, families, vendors, or facility-related incidents.

Abuse Liability

Addresses a critical childcare exposure by helping protect against claims involving abuse or molestation allegations, including legal defense needs and requirements often tied to licensing, leases, or partner contracts.

Professional Liability

Covers claims alleging negligence, mistakes, or failure to provide appropriate professional childcare services, including supervision-related concerns that may not be fully addressed by general liability alone.

Workers’ Comp

Helps cover employee injuries and occupational illness for daycare staff, teachers, aides, and assistants while supporting compliance with state workers’ compensation requirements where applicable.

Commercial Property

Protects daycare buildings, classroom contents, equipment, fixtures, improvements, and supplies against covered events such as fire, theft, vandalism, weather damage, or other property losses.

Commercial Auto

Provides liability and physical damage coverage for daycare-owned, hired, or non-owned vehicles used to transport children, run errands, or support business operations.

Tailored Childcare Coverage

Coverage Built Around Childcare Risk

Daycare operators face risks that ordinary business policies often miss, from child supervision and infant care to transportation, property, employee injury, and licensing deadlines. Soma helps simplify coverage with one application, ratio- and enrollment-based underwriting, and access to specialty carriers prepared to write childcare operations that many standard markets decline.
