Target/Item | 0 to 5 years old/Play kitchen, athletic equipment, and other wooden play equipment |
March 2021, Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu. In conjunction with the relocation of the new building, we delivered large playground equipment such as a wooden kitchen, picture book stand, run-run car, climbing ladder, and athletics . This time, we will not disclose the name of the kindergarten, but will introduce the wooden furniture that was installed.
This time, we mainly produced indoor play equipment, such as athletic equipment, climbing frames, and a pretend kitchen.
When we say "play equipment," we tend to think of relatively large equipment such as slides, swings, and tree houses for playing outdoors, but in recent years, it seems that there has been a huge demand for play equipment that can be played with inside playrooms at daycare centers and kindergartens.
Just because we are a manufacturer that uses wood does not mean that wooden playground equipment is good. Playground equipment such as monkey bars, which are played with using the whole body, has the effect of training the brain by improving physical development and concentration. Furthermore, by making it from solid wood, we want children to become familiar with wood through play, learn that everything is made of wood, and feel the significance of promoting the use of wood.
The first person to notice the Nakayoshi Library was a teacher who actually works in childcare. The furniture and toys for the children at H kindergarten are selected by the teachers on-site, and they suggested the products they wanted to use to the principal.
The most distinctive feature of Nakayoshi Library is that you can feel the wood material as it is . It is not painted with any color, but finished with natural oil (clear). This creates a relaxing atmosphere with the pleasant scent of cypress throughout the room.
The interior of H Nursery School's building is made of wood (floors: cypress, walls: cedar), and their desire not to use too many stained furniture matched well with the furniture in the Nakayoshi Library.
For products that require furniture assembly or installation, our own staff will do so until delivery whenever possible. Although it is convenient nowadays to ask a delivery company to deliver the product to the specified location, by doing everything in-house right up to delivery, we will explain anything that you are concerned about or do not understand and help you use the product with peace of mind.
It is also a very valuable part of our job to be able to receive ideas for developing new products and improving quality by seeing the actual production site.
This time, H-en purchased wooden furniture using the forestry environment tax. The way in which the forestry environment tax is used varies depending on the city or town, but why not take advantage of the system that provides a certain amount of subsidy?
In addition to the previous lump-sum purchase, we have also started a monthly rental service. We will suggest the furniture and toys you want. You can greatly reduce the initial cost . You can use it with peace of mind because you can replace the products according to your request , such as in the case of product damage, which is common in nurseries and kindergartens.
We received your first inquiry in late July. It took some time before we received your request because we had to apply for a subsidy, but we were relieved to be able to deliver the product safely in the middle of our busiest season.
It was very impressive to see the teachers' smiles as they actually touched the mats and said, "It's so smooth and feels great!" and "I can't wait to let the kids play with it!"
Given the request for many play equipment and picture book stands this time, I felt that they valued "creating an environment where children can play freely and comfortably, following their instincts."
