How to buy insurance for preschool teachers & students?
I admire your columns. I would like to ask if you have any ideas on the rules and regulations for opening a head-start/toddler school. Who/where can we get info on opening such a school? Is it advisable also to get insurance for such a business since it deals with small kids?
