When choosing daycare furniture, an important consideration that should always be kept in mind is size. As young children grow and develop important life skills, they need proper preschool chairs to sit on. Wooden chairs are both strong and appealing. Even your youngest students can enjoy supportive, age-appropriate toddler chairs from Wood Designs. High backs and sides provide little ones with proper support while they are still developing balance.

With many young children playing and creating in one space, it is helpful to have a system to keep things organized. Mail sorters offer a great way to sort art supplies or distribute projects and handouts. The name of each child can be affixed to a different compartment of the mail organizer to make sure that every student takes their project home and nobody is missing the permission slip for the upcoming field trip.

For larger personal items such as backpacks, coats and outerwear, wood lockers are an excellent solution. They stand at a perfect height for preschool-aged children so little ones can come in and put their own belongings away. With a personal space right inside the classroom, children will feel special, and have easy access to whatever they might need throughout the day.

In addition to personal storage spaces, classroom materials such as art supplies, toys and wooden blocks also need designated areas. With preschool cubbies and storage trays arranged around the classroom, students will know where to find their favorite items. When playtime is over and it's time to cleanup, it is easy for young children to take initiative and put everything back in the appropriate preschool cubbies.

Not all supplies in a daycare should be accessible to small children. Some items such as art supplies and extra cleaning materials should be kept where they can only be reached by adults. Rather than storing these items outside of the room where teachers will have to leave in order to retrieve them, they can simply be kept in wood storage cabinets that are in the classroom. These locking storage solutions will blend right in with other natural Wood Designs preschool furniture.

Many preschool classrooms are arranged by learning centers which allow a few children to enjoy each activity at any given time. This arrangement enables little ones to choose what they would like to do and keeps furniture and accessories in designated areas. Kids easels offer the perfect way to create an area for art projects. Easels for kids makes it easier for little ones to keep their papers in place as they draw, paint or color.

Preschool is the prime time for children to develop their imaginations. Through dramatic play and pretend play, they can explore different roles and learn to work cooperatively. Wood Designs has wooden play kitchen sets as well as individual items that will help young learners feel like the adults. They can cook, clean and take care of the baby, or put on an original puppet show.

Sand and water tables are great for developing fine motor skills. Teachers can periodically fill them with new materials so students can explore the properties of various mediums. Sand and water tables come in a variety of heights and sizes so they can be enjoyed by children of many different ages, and fit well in a learning center.

When choosing items for a preschool, don't forget that books are a must-have. A great book display can encourage little ones to read to themselves and enjoy a bit of quiet. Wood Designs book displays also work well as library furniture. They place books in an accessible position so children can see all of the covers and reach their favorite titles by themselves. They are available in both single- and double-sided models.

Wood Designs daycare and preschool furniture gives you a natural healthy approach to classroom furnishings. With so many versatile and durable models to choose from, you can be sure that little ones will look forward to school and enjoy learning and playing in the space you have designed for many years.
