Special Needs Resources for your Daycare or School

One of the most challenging things a childcare center may experience is the addition of a special needs child. Not only do children with special needs require a different approach than most children, but there are also many different types of special needs that may be encountered at a daycare or preschool. We offer a number of products that are designed to prepare and help you in educating and caring for children with special needs.

One of our best products is the Understanding Special Education Resource Book. This wonderful book provides overviews of 16 different forms of special needs including autism, dyslexia, and emotional disorders. It is perfect for getting a grasp on just what challenges your special needs student will face and ways to help them. It also contains up to date resources that include web sites and phone numbers of organizations that may provide further information.

We also offer an assortment of more specialized resources. For instance, our books on teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome. Our tactile toys and learning materials are also great for special needs children. They are perfect for play time with Autistic children and those with Down Syndrome, because they encourage the development of sensory and fine motor skills.

Childcare Foam Play

 

All of our soft foam furniture and play products are manufactured by Foamnasium. These all American made products are made of the highest quality materials to ensure that they are safe and durable. Each product is made of two main pieces; the foam padding and the vinyl cover.

The foam used in our soft play furniture is high quality polyurethane. With six decades of polyurethane research and development behind them, Foamnasium foam is one of the best products on the market! Their foam is soft, durable, odor-free and free of harmful chemicals. It is also flame retardant and contains an antimicrobial additive. This additive prevents the growth of fungus and bacteria even if the foam gets wet. It really is an amazing product!

The vinyl covers of our foam furniture and play equipment are made of the highest grade vinyl. This strong and easy to clean vinyl is also lead and phthalate free. Like the foam it covers, the vinyl is also flame retardant and antimicrobial.
