FOX Business’ Lydia Hu speaks with Samantha Phillips, a Texas-based insurance agent who works with hundreds of childcare providers across the country. Phillips explains why this surging expense poses an existential threat to the entire child care industry.
In the ever-challenging landscape of early childhood education, one topic is quickly becoming impossible to ignore: skyrocketing insurance premiums. On a recent episode of TCA Blog’s Compliance Alliance Power Half Hour, host Lynn Wenger TCA sat down with insurance expert Samantha Phillips to break down what’s driving these cost surges—and, most importantly, what childcare providers can do about it.
Samantha Phillips is an insurance broker who specializes in insuring child care centers, a job that is especially tough this days as ECE businesses struggle to find and keep insurance. Costs are soaring. Samantha said she has a client in Massachusetts whose insurance DOUBLED, from $25,000 a year to $50,000 a year .. and the client had never filed a claim. And paying that amount was the client's only option. That's just one example Samantha shares during this podcast. She also gives examples of court verdicts and settlements stemming from cases in child care centers that are affecting premiums, as well as how licensing inspections are playing a role in skyrocketing costs. Samantha also gives tips on how to keep your current insurance, which is getting harder and harder to do, as well as what you can do to shop around to try to find lower prices. One such tip is to write an insurance narrative to show that you have a strong management team and that your approach to protecting your property is proactive rather than reactive.
We may not have contributed to this podcast, but we feel it's worth sharing another source highlighting this critical threat. The childcare industry has been having a tough go of it. It's already expensive; pandemic-era programs have ended; plus there are too few providers. Enter a new challenge: increasing liability insurance premiums. Today, we look at why these premiums are rising for childcare providers, and how they're impacting both businesses and consumers.
