KONENKAMP, Justice.

[¶ 1.] A parent whose child was injured while in the care of a babysitter brought suit to recover damages. In a declaratory judgment action, the insurance company successfully argued that its policy did not cover injuries sustained in a daycare-type business. We conclude that the circuit court correctly ruled that the policy was unambiguous and the business exclusion applied.
