Flooring for Play Schools, Day Cares and Play Rooms
Early growth is most vital for toddlers. Daycares, playrooms and preschools play an important role in mental and physical development amongst children. Creating a safe learning environment is the key to an ideal space. The prime concern and consideration for preschools and daycares is safety and health. With no compromise in the prime factors of safety and keeping all the essential elements in mind, our experts have a guide for you that will help you choose your ideal flooring.
Safety
In pre-schools, kids are at a learning stage; children often fall, and the toddlers are just learning to walk. To protect them from injuries, you have to be very mindful of the flooring you choose. To provide cushioning for all the falls, carpet is a good way to go. Cushioning with anti-slip properties is a perfect fit for playschools and daycares.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
One or the other tot is a mess maker, accepting that the mess is the only option one has to deal with. The flooring at daycares and preschools are often subjected to food and beverage spills, colours and paint marks or spills, crumbs, and the list goes on. With all this, choosing an easy to clean flooring option is a sensible move.
Periodical sanitisation is an important requirement considering the kids health. To minimise the chances of cold, flu, or pink eye transmission, choose something that will stand-up to the periodical disinfection. Flooring like Vinyls and Timbers are easy to clean and disinfect.
Creating an appealing environment
Most of the things and placement in space stimulates the learning environment. Colours add an appealing factor to a space and also help in child brain development; choosing colourful flooring may bring energy and vibrancy to the environment. Carpets can be good options when you wish to play with colours.
Sound Proof Flooring
Choosing a floor with sound-absorbing properties like vinyl can help you minimise sound, be it loud children’s voices or the dropping and throwing of toys, and the rattles. Some vinyl floors, like luxury vinyl flooring, offer the best acoustics.
Easy Maintenance
A maintenance routine is required not just for sanity but also for health purposes. While sorting out from the available options, choosing the one that has a smooth and seamless surface that is effortless to clean also reduces the chances of dirt and debris getting stuck to the gaps and cracks.
Flooring Options to avoid for Daycare and Pre Schools
Now that we know the things to keep in mind while choosing the best flooring for kids, it is also important to know what types of floors to avoid.
- Tile – Tiles can be a very dangerous flooring option, as the surface is very hard, kids can hurt themselves. Tiles are not so comfortable, considering the long hours kids spend sitting and playing.
- Bamboo – Bamboo flooring is a bad choice while considering them for preschool and daycare. Bamboo is a scratch-prone flooring that also does not stand up well to water spills.
