Our Committment to the Community
We are committed to what is best for your child. Many of our new wooden items come from Community Playthings. Community Playthings is a small company, committed to providing well-made, safe furniture and other wooden items for children from responsible sources. Everything they make has a 10-year warranty-unheard of in the field of childcare-which means the products last longer, and get dumped into landfills later. Their products are built with local materials, with materials that meet high standards, and many of their products meet LEED certification and FSC certification. See their website for more information.
