What Is Daycare Negligence?


Daycare negligence occurs when a childcare provider fails to exercise reasonable care in protecting children from foreseeable harm. Licensed daycare centers, in-home childcare providers, preschools, and other childcare facilities have a responsibility to provide a reasonably safe environment for the children entrusted to their care.

Negligence may involve:

  • Inadequate supervision
  • Unsafe premises
  • Failure to follow safety procedures
  • Hiring unqualified staff
  • Inadequate employee training
  • Failure to maintain appropriate staffing levels
  • Ignoring known hazards
  • Failure to respond appropriately to emergencies

Not every childhood injury results from negligence. Children naturally fall and experience minor accidents while playing. However, when an injury occurs because a daycare provider failed to meet accepted standards of care, the facility may be legally responsible for the harm that results.

Many of these incidents are entirely preventable through proper staffing, training, supervision, and routine safety inspections.

Common Causes of Daycare Injuries

Daycare injuries can happen in many different ways, but they often share one common factor—preventable negligence.

Some of the most common causes include:

One of the leading causes of serious daycare injuries is insufficient supervision.

Young children require constant attention because they may:

  • Wander away
  • Climb dangerous equipment
  • Choke on small objects
  • Fight with other children
  • Enter restricted areas
  • Access hazardous materials

Even a brief lapse in supervision can result in serious injury.

  • Rusted structures
  • Inadequate impact surfaces

  • Exposed hardware
  • Unsafe climbing equipment
  • Damaged swings

Examples may include:

  • Physical abuse
