Insurance for Churches That Run Schools, Preschools and Childcare

The moment a church opens licensed childcare or a school, the insurance program needs to be rebuilt, not adjusted at the margins. We design it that way from day one.

What changes

Sexual abuse

Limits, defense terms and carrier requirements tighten when you care for children every weekday.

Workers’ compensation

School and daycare staff belong in their own class codes; one blended payroll figure gets rated at the most expensive class.

Student accident

Liability pays when someone proves negligence; most school injuries involve none. Student accident coverage fills that gap.

Educators’ and professional liability

Claims about instruction, supervision and discipline need coverage written for schools.

Licensing and regulators

State childcare licensing brings inspection, ratio and certificate requirements your program has to satisfy.

Entity and property

Is the school a separate entity? Who owns the building? The answers change named insureds, property and D&O.

What changes

Is the school its own entity?

If the school is a separate legal entity, say so in every submission. If it is not, say that too. It changes the structure of every quote you will receive.

Question Why it matters

Separate legal entity or ministry of the church? Named insureds, D&O and who signs contracts

Scheduled as its own operation? Its own limits vs sharing church GL

Payroll split by class code? Workers' comp rate and experience mod

Athletics, field trips, transport? Student accident, auto and participant liability
