Does Anyone Have This Preschool Seating? Do You Like It?
https://www.shopbecker.com/furniture...school+seating
I have grant money to use, and I'm considering buying this overpriced seating I would never purchase on my own. Since it feels like play money I like to splurge on something like this. If you have it do you like it and has it held up well? If you have something similar, do your kiddos like it? We have a reading area, but it is just a mat. I think comfy seating might encourage more reading. I hate germs and refuse to have any cloth that can't be machine washed in my daycare, so these seem like a good option. Thanks! |

I spent a good amount (>$1500) on vinyl seating and climbers a year ago. All have already been removed due to tears, punctures and seams coming undone from simple 50 lbs (toddlers) of pressure from climbing with toys and books, making them no longer meet health and safety regulations of "smooth and non-porous" for disinfection. I'd stick to hard resin.

A couple of places on the seats were from bites and picking at seams, but mostly just from board books and baby dolls as they were climbing up and down on them. |

Sometimes they are rewarded with a string to pull. When they lick them and drag their hands across it they are rewarded with a loud sound that makes the room laugh. Once they figure out they can lick it, put their mouth on it and blow, your chances of getting anyone to stop licking it are slim to none. Even during the double-barreled sinus season and diaper digger phases. ;) It really was so much more work and disinfecting/handwashing that I bargained for. :lol: It was a flu, cold, HFM, pink eye and generalized cooty nightmare. |
