Technical Assistance

It is important that parents both understand and acknowledge whether your center carries

liability insurance. Possible means of communicating this requirement include:

● Using a form specific to liability insurance that requires a parent signature that you maintain

in the child’s file;

● Including a statement or addendum regarding about liability insurance in your operational

policies or parent handbook, and maintain in the child’s file a document with a parent signature

or initials specifically acknowledging the liability insurance information; or

● Maintaining a copy of any electronic communication sent to a parent regarding liability

insurance, including the date and address to which the communication was sent.Revised:
