Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a daycare changing table different from a residential changing table?
Daycare changing tables are designed for the frequent use and sanitation needs of commercial childcare environments. They typically feature durable construction, easy-to-clean changing surfaces, convenient storage, and designs intended to help caregivers manage diaper changes throughout the day.
What should I look for when choosing a changing table for a childcare center?
Consider the table’s dimensions, changing surface, storage capacity, construction, safety features, and ease of cleaning. You should also consider the ages of the children being cared for and any applicable state or local childcare licensing requirements.
What is a step-up daycare changing table?
A step-up changing table includes stairs that allow appropriately aged and mobile children to climb to the changing surface with caregiver supervision. This can reduce the amount of lifting required by staff. The stairs can typically be secured or stored when not in use, depending on the model.
Do commercial changing tables meet daycare licensing requirements?
Requirements for changing stations can vary by state, local jurisdiction, and type of childcare facility. Commercial changing tables are designed for institutional childcare environments, but facilities should confirm that the specific table, installation, and diapering area meet their applicable licensing and sanitation requirements.
