Our Risk Management Goals for Child Care

Whether your child care center is operated in your home, in a stand alone facility, or you operate a multi-facility national child care business, you face a variety of loss exposures that can profoundly affect the most vulnerable of our future generation. At Thomco we recognize the many exposures to loss faced by your business on a daily basis. Our Loss Control approach for the child care industry is designed to address the most common causes of loss seen at all types of child care centers across the nation. Our programs are also designed to address certain types of catastrophic exposures that commonly result in severe injury or death to children. The subsequent media attention that follows high profile accidents often put child care centers out of business. It is important to both Thomco and our clients to avoid these losses if at all possible.

Additionally, we recognize that many of our child care clients have limited resources to invest in Risk Management and they are in the business of caring for children because that's what they enjoy. By following the links from this Risk Management web site clients can find a myriad of valuable loss control information for child care centers. There are also links to industry organizations, state compliance offices and business partners to help in your loss control efforts. The material will be updated periodically to provide information on loss trends and industry hot topics. There is also a link to a public forum where clients can post comments, questions, and information to help others in their loss control efforts. We encourage you to visit the site often. If you have any questions about loss control services for child care centers please contact Bill Coons at BillC@thomcoins.com
