Furniture INFANT / TODDLER 0 – 3

Infant / Toddler Furniture One of the key concepts in this environment is learning to be independent. Rather than using the traditional ‘high’ chairs, which rely on adult intervention, the furniture is lower in height and smaller in size. Take for example the Weaning Table and Chair, these pieces are specifically designed for an infant as young as 6 months. They are low to the ground and the seat of the chair is deeper to allow the infant to sit with crossed legs further enhancing their stability. The Infant / Toddler Shelves are open, and low to the ground with only a top and bottom shelf. This allows both the infant and the teacher to see through the shelves while maintaining a safe barrier. The Toddler Tables and Chairs stand a bit higher, and the Toddler shelving has a center shelf for additional material storage. Our Infant / Toddler line of furniture is made from birch wood and the finishes are double-coated lacquer to facilitate cleaning and for long-term durability.
