Wooden childcare storage locker [for kindergartens and nurseries]
| Name of the school |
Nishiwakamiya Kindergarten / Wakamiya Kindergarten |
| Delivery year | July 2019 |
| Target/Item | Toddler storage locker |
In late July 2019, it took about five hours by express bus from Kochi to Osaka, and then about an hour by subway to arrive at Nishiwakamiya Kindergarten.
This time, we delivered storage lockers to Nishiwakamiya Kindergarten and Wakamiya Kindergarten, both run by the social welfare corporation Genseikai, located in Higashiosaka City, Osaka Prefecture. The facility is managed by the Jodo sect of Buddhism, Gensei-ji Temple, and the three kindergartens have a total of about 300 children.

The reason for the introduction
The first call we received was in early June. The person said, "I've used lockers from other manufacturers before, but I couldn't find anything that really satisfied me. I happened to come across Nakayoshi Library's website on the Internet and it caught my eye."
There are certainly many childcare manufacturers, and the idea is to buy ready-made lockers and use them at the nursery school. However, after purchasing them, you may find that they are not as convenient to use or that they take up unnecessary storage space.
At Nakayoshi Library, we can make lockers to suit your needs from scratch. We have also delivered to many kindergartens and daycare centers up until now. We will suggest easy-to-use lockers based on examples of delivery.
The merits of a simple locker
The lockers we delivered this time are very simple. Children start to be able to take their belongings in and out from around the age of 2, so "visible storage" plays a very important role for children.
◎Each storage space is large, making it easy to organize.
◎ Easy for children to understand and take out.
◎Easy to take out and put in even if the size changes depending on age.
What Nakayoshi Library can do for you
I think most people have the impression that only good wooden products are expensive.
The wood used at Nakayoshi Library is high-quality natural wood from Kochi Prefecture, which is expensive. However, because we have our own route for procuring materials and we manufacture, deliver and install them in our own factory, we are able to cut out the middleman margin that usually occurs and deliver them at a lower price than other companies.
The secret of the tree
When you open the cardboard box, the first thing you will notice is the pleasant scent of cypress. This is the unique scent of cypress, which has a relaxing effect. It actually lowers blood pressure and calms your pulse.
In addition, it is cool in summer and warm in winter. Its moderate softness also helps to absorb shock.
It is the perfect material for kindergarten furniture.
After delivery
Despite their busy schedules, the male staff at the nursery school helped with the installation, which made the delivery go smoothly.
When we actually installed them, we felt that the lockers blended in with the classroom atmosphere much better than the lockers we saw in the factory. No matter which nursery school we deliver to, the end result is a soft room with the scent of wood.
