Illinois licensing context
Illinois licensing standards address different types of day care operations and require background and registry checks for people with access to children in licensed facilities. Insurance underwriting should reflect the actual program type, staffing, screening controls and every location.
Insurance is a separate analysis
Meeting a licensing requirement does not establish that every important exposure is insured. A daycare program may need general liability, professional liability, abuse and molestation coverage, property, business income, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, accident medical, cyber, EPLI and umbrella coverage.
Information carriers evaluate
For a Illinois center, prepare the legal entity, license type, locations, capacity, enrollment by age, infant count, employees and payroll, background-screening process, transportation, playground or water exposures, property values, claims and regulatory history.
Transportation deserves its own review
If the center transports children, identify each vehicle, passenger capacity, route, driver and use. Commercial auto insurance does not replace compliance with driver, restraint, supervision, loading or vehicle-check rules.
