I am a big fan of IKEA products. I like their affordability, durability, and flexibility. IKEA offers a large variety of products that can be used in a Childcare Space.
Their wide array of child sized furniture, toys, and organizational pieces are sold at an affordable price for providers. Their stylish furniture makes it a great choice for a provider with a shared space as well. Please note: I'm not affiliated with IKEA in any way-other than being a fan of their products! Below you will find over 20+ IKEA popular products that are popular for home based childcare settings. I've tried to highlight some of the unique products that you may not have seen before. These photos have all been shared by our readers who are using IKEA products in their fabulous spaces! Trofast
