Room divider furniture for small daycare centers

Nakayoshi Library - Furniture with dividers
Hagukumu Nursery School (Osaka Prefecture)

We have consulted with many nurseries, small nurseries, and kindergartens on improving their environments. The most common request is to divide the rooms with shelves and add gates or doors. At Nakayoshi Library, we use only domestic materials and natural paints, and as a specialized manufacturer of nursery furniture, we can provide suggestions that are suitable for your facility based on past cases.

Wooden door that children cannot open

The advantage of wooden doors is that they are difficult for children to open, which makes it possible to create an environment in which childcare can proceed smoothly. The main features of the doors made by Nakayoshi Library are as follows:

  • It is heavy, so children cannot lift it.
  • The corners are rounded and there is no risk of fingers getting pinched.
  • Both width and height sizes can be ordered .
  • The product is made entirely from wood, so no metal fittings are used, resulting in a soft finish.
  • It can be opened and closed either towards the front or the back.

Lift it up as shown in the picture above to open it. An adult can lift it with one hand.

The board fits into the L-shaped part at the top, preventing the door from moving.

Delivery example: Partition furniture for dining area and activity room

This is a room divider furniture to separate the dining area from the activity area. It has two entrances.

Can be made to order

We accept consultations from the planning stage, so we can accommodate custom orders for width, height, design, etc. For example, here are some examples:

Room Divider Furniture <!--nl--> Doors Nakayoshi Library

A shelf and door were installed as a set to fit the opening. A cute circular design was added using acrylic board so that children could see through to the other side.

Nakayoshi Library <!--nl--> Nursery school partition furniture

The back side is a shelf. If you place deep furniture next to the door, it will be stable and can also be used as a storage shelf.

The doors open and close very smoothly.

It can be made in a variety of designs. I added a viewing window so children can have fun looking through it.

The width has been narrowed to prevent children from entering dangerous areas.

You can attach your nursery's logo or any illustration of your choice to the wood, allowing you to create an original piece that suits your nursery.

In addition to straight partitions, we can also create an L-shaped layout for the room, as shown in the photo above. Please consult with us each time. The design is cute with ruffles.

This acts as the entrance to the room when children come to the nursery with their parents. The open furniture is designed so that clothes can be taken in and out from both sides.

Divide the room at L time

The lattice design can also be used to divide the space into sections. This design needs to be fixed to the wall, but you can see through to the other side, and it's simple and not oppressive.

The door can also be installed separately.

If you want to restrict access, installation work is required, but it is also possible to install it separately. (The photo shows a typical house.) It was installed to prevent small children from falling down the stairs.

It is also possible to install just the door in a nursery school.
Onna Village Olive Nursery School

The building is made in a lattice pattern so that you can see through to the other side. The nursery school is located on the seafront and has good ventilation. The design allows even the slightest amount of breeze to pass through.


Place it between storage furniture such as a toy shelf.

By sandwiching both sides with lockers or storage furniture, no construction work (installation) such as attaching to the wall is required, so you can use it just by installing the furniture. The advantage of being able to install furniture that divides the room is that you can change the childcare environment appropriately .

  • By making both sides furniture, installation and other construction work is not required .
  • By turning it into furniture, it can be used from both sides and the back panel will have a nice finish .
  • You can also order the size of the shelves.

The tall lockers can also serve as desks for teachers.

The door is attached and sandwiched between the picture book shelf and a shelf with a magnetic back.

Even with partitions, the space still feels open

Not only can furniture divide a space, but it can also create a situation where you can see through to the other side. (If the furniture unit is too light, you will need to fix it to the wall or floor.) Being able to see through to the other side makes the space look larger without being shaded.

This furniture divider also doubles as a play kitchen and a toy shelf, etc. This is an example of dividing the room into three rooms for 0, 1, and 2 year olds.

The play space can be divided into smaller sections using furniture.

By closing from both sides, you can create a spacious line of movement when opened. It is recommended when you want to expand it so that you can move around the room.

It is designed to be retracted into the back of the storage shelf, so there is no need to worry about children getting their fingers caught.

You can look through the window and see the other side of the room from the child's point of view. But the activity area can be separated. This is a playground equipment that can be used in a variety of ways, not just for playing house.

It is used as a dining space for 1- to 2-year-olds. They eat inside at a long table and adjustable chairs.
