Daycare & Childcare Insurance in Florida 

 Safeguard Your Little Ones, Staff & Business

At FLORIDA WE INSURE AGENCY, we know operating a daycare or childcare center in Florida means more than caring — it’s serious responsibility. Whether you run a small home-based daycare or a full‑scale childcare facility in Tampa, Jacksonville, Sarasota, or elsewhere across the state, you face unique risks: bodily injury, child safety, premises liability, licensing compliance, property damage, and more.

General Liability Insurance

Covers third‑party bodily injury or property damage, protecting you if a child or visitor is injured, or property is damaged on your premises.

Childcare / Daycare Professional Liability (Abuse / Neglect / Negligence Coverage)

Protects against claims involving professional oversight, mistakes, or negligence in providing childcare services.

Commercial Property / Contents Insurance

Covers your building (if owned), furnishings, supplies, toys, playground equipment, and other contents against fire, theft, vandalism, storm damage or other covered perils.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Covers staff injuries or job-related illness — especially important if you have employees (assistants, aides, part‑time staff).

Business Interruption / Income Protection

Helps cover lost income and ongoing expenses if your facility must close temporarily due to a covered event (storm, damage, etc.).

Umbrella / Excess Liability Insurance

Adds an extra layer of liability protection beyond standard policy limits — important when many children and adults are involved, and risk is higher.

Why Daycare & Childcare Insurance Matters

Running a daycare involves constant oversight, many moving parts, and a high duty of care. From slips, falls, playground accidents, or other injury risks — to property damage, licensing requirements, staff injuries, and unexpected emergencies — one incident can threaten your reputation, finances, or even legal standing.


With tailored insurance, you gain peace of mind knowing your daycare is covered against the most common and serious liabilities, protecting children, families, and your livelihood.

Daycare & Childcare Insurance FAQs

  • Is daycare insurance required for childcare centers in Florida?

    Requirements vary by county and licensing type — but many centers are required to carry liability insurance, and workers’ compensation is often mandatory if you have employees. Even for small operations, carrying proper insurance is strongly recommended to protect against liability and compliance issues.


  • Does insurance cover accidents involving children?

    Yes — with general liability and specialized daycare liability coverage, your policy can protect against claims related to bodily injury, negligence, or accidents that occur on-site.

  • Are supplies, toys, and furniture covered?

    With property or contents coverage, your daycare’s contents — furniture, educational supplies, toys, and equipment — can be insured against theft, damage, or loss due to covered events.

  • Is coverage different for home‑based daycare vs commercial facility?

    Coverage needs can vary depending on size, number of children, staff, and property ownership. We tailor policies to match your specific operation — whether a small home daycare or a full daycare center.

  • What if I expand or add services?

    We’ll review and adjust your coverage accordingly — whether you add more kids, expand staff, or offer additional services, we make sure you remain properly protected.
