At times, children are the unfortunate victims injuries and even death while under the supervision and care of the day care center.

The rules and regulations for day care centers and schools vary from state to state. Furthermore, the rules and regulations for religious based or church based day care centers are often different than the rules and regulations for private or public schools operating in the same State. While the rules and regulations may be different for a church based day care center, there typically is no immunity or exemption for protection from the negligent acts of a church based day care center and its employees that cause injuries or death to a child.
