Commercial Insurance for Schools, Childcare & Education
Nothing matters more than the children in your care. Your coverage should reflect that.
For a private school, childcare center, or education provider, the exposures are serious and specific: abuse and molestation liability, student and staff injury, the property and vehicles you operate, and the trust of families and boards. As an independent agency representing 100+ carriers, we build coverage around your programs and facilities, coordinate it with staff benefits, and review it before every renewal. People over policies, since 2007.

What it covers, plainly
A school’s coverage is really several policies working together.
Abuse & Molestation Liability
The exposure no education provider can leave uncovered. Defends and pays abuse claims, and many licenses and contracts require specific limits.
General Liability & Property
Student and third-party injury, playgrounds and facilities, plus your buildings, contents, and the income you lose if you cannot operate.
Directors & Officers / Educators Legal Liability
Protects boards, administrators, and the institution over governance, admissions, and employment decisions.
Workers Compensation
Required in Maryland, Virginia, and DC. Covers work-related injury to teachers and staff regardless of fault.
Commercial Auto
Buses, vans, and field-trip transportation, a frequent and high-stakes exposure for schools.
Umbrella & Group Benefits
Extra liability limits above your primary policies, plus the benefits that help schools retain teachers and staff.

How we work
What a commercial advisor should actually do.
Your advisor
A named human, not a 1-800 number.
You get one advisor who learns your operation, knows your team, and remembers what happened at the last renewal. Same person at year five as at year one.
Proactive reviews
We call before renewal, not after a problem.
Annual proactive reviews. Quarterly check-ins for fast-growth clients. If you opened a new location, hired your fiftieth employee, or signed a major contract, we want to know before your policy does.
Carrier breadth
Independent access to diverse markets.
We're not tied to one carrier's appetite. Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Hartford, Cincinnati, Chubb, and dozens of other standard and specialty markets, we shop where your risk profile actually fits.
One roof
Commercial, benefits, and personal - coordinated.
Your business coverage, your team's benefits, and your personal insurance can all live under one advisory relationship. No more retelling your story to three different people.
Growing Fast?
Your business grows. Your coverage should keep up.
A broker who just renews your policy is fine, right up until it isn't. When you add a location, a truck, or fifteen employees and nobody updates your coverage. When a renewal comes back 22% higher with no explanation. When a claim lands and you need someone who already knows your operation. That's when a renew-and-forget broker costs you.
You need a named advisor who learns how your business actually runs, anticipates the risks before they find you, and makes sure your coverage evolves as fast as you do. We're independently owned, so your account team doesn't get shuffled after the next private-equity acquisition. The same advisor stays with you as you grow.
