Coverage Tips for Code 41715

• Ensure your General Liability policy includes adequate Abuse and Molestation coverage, as this is a significant exposure for child care operations and often requires a specific endorsement.
• Implement and strictly adhere to staff-to-child ratios and supervision protocols mandated by state regulations to mitigate injury claims and ensure child safety.
• Conduct thorough background checks and continuous training for all employees and volunteers to reduce risks associated with negligent hiring or supervision.
