Daycare Classroom Design and Furniture
West Shore has built daycare furniture in our Dalian factory since 2003, for more than 5,000 childcare centres and preschools in 50+ countries. This page is the layout service: you send the plan, and we place the furniture before anything is made.
What you send, and what comes back
You send
A floor plan or a hand sketch with the wall lengths, the ages in each room, and the opening date. A finished furniture list is not required.
We return
Most layouts and quotes come back within 48 hours: a 2D and 3D layout, and a line-by-line quote showing the room, the product, the size and the quantity. Nothing goes into production until you approve it.
The layout is free. See the furniture range on our mobilier de garderie page, or the room-by-room cost bands in the classroom cost guide.
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 fits in the room
Scaled floor plan
Every table, shelf and cot mapped to scale. You can see circulation space and staff sightlines before committing to a single item.

How the room works
Zone & space planning
Activity zones, quiet corners, storage and the flow to outdoor areas — arranged around your age groups and teaching approach.

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.
Our process
From floor plan to furnished centre
Six steps. You're involved in three of them — we handle the rest and keep you updated as it moves.
-
01
Discovery
You send room sizes, age groups, roll numbers and your opening date.
-
02
Floor plan review
We check classroom flow, supervision sightlines and how the space is used.
-
03
Space design
Activity zones, storage and quiet corners laid out in 2D and 3D.
-
04
Furniture selection
We match sizes, materials and finishes to your age groups and budget.
-
05
You sign off
Nothing goes into production until you've approved the layout and the list.
-
06
Production & delivery
We build, pack and book freight, then track the container to your centre.
A sketch on paper is enough to begin.

Standards, lead time and what to send
Tell us the country and the products. We provide the test report that matches each model on your order, not a single certificate for the whole brand.
- United States and Canada: ASTM or CPSC, depending on the product. See which standard applies on our US safety standards page.
- United Kingdom and Europe: EN 1729 for chairs and tables, and EN 71 where it applies to toys.
- Australia and New Zealand: AS/NZS. The notes are on our Australia childcare furniture page.
- Singapore: buyers there usually ask for CGSR, EN 71, ASTM or ISO 8124, depending on the product. Tell us which one your licence needs.
- Wood: FSC-certified board is available on many lines. We confirm the report for the exact model before you order.
- Production: 30–45 days after the drawing is frozen.
- Door to door: a classroom package is commonly 10–14 weeks, depending on the country and the port.
- Minimum order: there is no fixed minimum. For a very small order we will say if shipping costs more than the furniture.
Send the floor plan, the ages and the opening date. We will tell you whether the date works before you spend time on a layout.
Get the layout before you order the furniture
A preschool room is commonly $4,800–$9,500 to furnish, and an infant room $8,500–$16,000. Production is 30–45 days after the drawing is frozen, and a classroom package is commonly 10–14 weeks door to door. Send the floor plan, the ages and the opening date.
Factory transparency
An Australian client flew in to inspect our factory.
So we filmed it.
The team from Éducation préscolaire Everwood spent a day on our production floor — no script, no staging, nothing set up in advance.
- Plywood grades and edge finishing, checked by hand
- Assembly lines and hardware actually used in production
- QC procedures before packing and container loading
Classroom design FAQ
Can you supply more than classroom furniture?
Yes. A project can include the furniture, Montessori and Reggio materials, and indoor and outdoor play equipment, packed as one shipment to your door.
Do you handle a full centre with several rooms?
Yes. Most of our work is a whole centre. We keep finishes and heights consistent across rooms, pack by room, and deliver it as one project.
Can you customise sizes and finishes?
Yes. Table heights by age group, shelf depths, cubby counts, timber or laminate, and unit widths can be built to your walls.
We only have a floor plan. Can you work from that?
Yes. A hand sketch with the wall lengths works too. Send it even if the furniture list is not ready. The layout is free and you do not have to order.
How do you quote a classroom or a full centre?
From your rooms. Each line shows the room, the age group, the product, the size and the quantity, so you can compare it with a local supplier on the same scope.
Is there a minimum order?
No fixed minimum. For a very small order, shipping can cost more than the furniture, and we will tell you if buying that piece locally makes more sense.
When should we get in touch?
As soon as you have an opening or renovation date, even a rough one. We work back from that date and tell you whether the timeline fits.
How long does production and shipping take?
Production is 30–45 days after the drawing is frozen. A classroom package is commonly 10–14 weeks door to door. Send the date you need it on site and we will tell you if that works.
Can we see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Sample fees are credited back against a confirmed project order. You can also inspect the factory in person, or on a live video call.
Will the furniture meet our 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 see which standard applies to each product on our US safety standards page.
