Working with youngsters can be thrilling and rewarding. Let’s keep it that way.

Markel can provide you with customizable insurance products along with knowledgeable, friendly claims and loss prevention professionals to help you when you need it the most. We have a variety of coverage available at an affordable price, all built specifically with the in-home daycare provider in mind.

Why is insurance for in-home daycare businesses important?

Did you know your in-home daycare may NOT be covered by your homeowner’s policy? Typical homeowners policies only offer you liability coverage for your personal exposures and excludes liability coverage for family day care activities. That means in the event your in-home child care business were to be sued, your personal assets like your home and savings could be at risk.

So whether you are caring for 1 or 18 children, we can offer a customizable insurance solution to help keep you protected.
