Daycare Furniture for Childcare Centers and Preschools
West Shore has built daycare furniture in our Dalian factory since 2003 and has supplied more than 5,000 childcare centers and preschools in 50+ countries. You can furnish a single room or a whole center from one order: tables and chairs, cubbies, storage, bookshelves, cots, changing tables, soft play and outdoor pieces. Send us your floor plan, the age group in each room and your opening date, and we will send back a classroom layout and a room-by-room quote.
Daycare Furniture by Category
Preschool tables and chairs
Round, rectangular, kidney and height-adjustable tables with matching chairs, sized for each age group from toddlers to pre-K.
Classroom storage
Low open shelves that let children reach and return materials on their own, plus lockable cabinets for staff supplies.
Cubbies and lockers
One space per child for a bag, coat and shoes. Choose the number of sections and the width to fit your wall.
Classroom bookshelf
Front-facing shelves at child height, so children can see the covers and choose books themselves.
Changing table
Changing stations for infant and toddler rooms, planned together with cribs, feeding chairs and storage.
Outdoor learning
Sand and water tables, mud kitchens, outdoor furniture and play equipment for the yard.
Reading tree bookshelf
A bookshelf and bench in one piece, for centers that want a feature reading corner.

Send your floor plan and we will place the furniture room by room.
Daycare Furniture Sizes by Age Group
Children should sit with their feet flat on the floor and their elbows near the table top. Use the table below as a starting point, and see our table and chair height guide for the full chart. Australian centres can use the millimetre sizes in the Australia height guide.
| Room | Typical ages | Table height | Seat height | Furniture the room usually needs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infant | 6–12 months | 12–13 in (30–33 cm) | 5–6 in (13–15 cm) | Changing table, cribs or cots, feeding chairs, low open shelves, a lockable staff cabinet |
| Toddler | 1–2 years | 13–14 in (33–36 cm) | 6–7 in (15–18 cm) | Low tables and chairs, cubbies, low shelves, cots or mats, soft play |
| Younger preschool | 2–4 years | 17 in (43 cm) | 9 in (23 cm) | Tables and chairs, cubbies, storage, bookshelf, dramatic play |
| Preschool | 3–5 years | 18 in (46 cm) | 10 in (25 cm) | Tables and chairs, cubbies, storage, bookshelf, dramatic play, a classroom rug |
| Pre-K and kindergarten | 4–6 years | 19 in (48 cm) | 11 in (28 cm) | Tables and chairs, cubbies, storage, bookshelf, art and science areas |
For a mixed-age room, order two sizes so every child has a table and chair that fit.
Materials and Safety Standards
Many of our daycare furniture lines use 18 mm birch plywood, with E0-grade and FSC-certified boards available. Depending on the product line, you can also choose rubberwood, hard maple, beech, Nordic pine or white oak. Edges are rounded and finishes are water-based. Material options for each product are listed on the tables and chairs page.
Safety rules differ by product type and by country, so we provide the test report that matches the exact model on your order. Tell us where the furniture is going and we will confirm which documents apply:
- United States: see which standard applies to each product type on our US safety standards page.
- Australia and New Zealand: see the AS/NZS notes on our Australia childcare furniture page.
- Other markets: ask us for the reports your licensing body requires before you order.
Free Classroom Layout and Room-by-Room Quote
You do not need a finished furniture list to start. A floor plan or a hand sketch with room sizes is enough.
- You send the floor plan, the age group in each room and your opening date.
- We plan each room: tables, cubbies, cots and storage placed to scale, with clear walkways and sightlines for staff.
- You receive a 2D and 3D layout and a line-by-line quote showing room, product, size and quantity.
The layout is free and there is no obligation to order. See the full service on our classroom design and furniture page.
Free design service
We plan the room before you buy the furniture
Send us a floor plan and our design team works through three stages. You see how the space actually works — and what it costs — before anything goes into production. No order commitment, no design fee.

What it will look like
3D visualisation
A rendered view you can put in front of your team, your licensing assessor or your landlord — before you spend anything.
A sketch on paper or a PDF from your architect is enough to start. Most plans come back within 48 hours.
Lead Time, Minimum Order and Shipping
- Production: 30–45 days after you approve the layout and specifications.
- Door to door: a classroom package usually arrives 10–14 weeks after approval, depending on your country and port.
- Minimum order: there is no fixed minimum. For very small orders, shipping can cost more than the furniture, and we will tell you if buying locally makes more sense.
- Shipping: we pack by room, label each carton and arrange freight to your door.
Opening soon? Send us your date first. We will tell you whether the timeline works before you spend time on a layout.

Daycare Furniture FAQ
What do I need to send for a quote?
A floor plan or sketch with room sizes, the age group in each room and your opening date. If you already have a furniture list, send that too.
How far ahead should I contact you?
At least three to four months before opening. That allows time for the layout, production and shipping. If your date is closer, tell us and we will check what is possible.
How long does a classroom package take?
Production is 30–45 days after you approve the layout. Door-to-door delivery is usually 10–14 weeks in total.
What table and chair height do I need for a preschool room?
For ages 3–5, an 18 in (46 cm) table with a 10 in (25 cm) seat. Mixed-age rooms usually need two sizes.
Can you work from a floor plan only?
Yes. We suggest the furniture, quantities and sizes for each room and show them on a 2D and 3D layout.
Can you furnish a whole center with several rooms?
Yes. Most of our projects are full centers. We keep finishes and heights consistent across rooms and pack each room separately.
Can you make custom sizes and finishes?
Yes. Table heights, shelf depths, cubby counts, unit widths and materials can all be adjusted to your rooms.
Can you quote to a budget?
Yes. Tell us your budget range and we will suggest materials and configurations that fit it.
Is there a minimum order?
No fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if shipping makes it poor value.
Can I get samples first?
Yes. Sample fees are credited back against a confirmed project order.
Will the furniture meet my local safety requirements?
Tell us the country and the products. We provide the test report that matches each model on your order. US buyers can check which standard applies to each product type on our US safety standards page.
Do you ship to my country?
We ship worldwide and deliver to your door. Our main markets are the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
