The most common barrier to a Fern Kids purchase isn't price. It's uncertainty. Directors want to know if the pieces will fit, how they'll relate to each other in their specific room, and whether the layout they're imagining is achievable. The layout service exists to answer that — before you spend a dollar.
What the layout service is
The Fern Kids Layout Service is a free service for educators and directors planning a new room or a furniture refresh. Share your room dimensions and a description of your programme — age groups, licensing capacity, how you use the space — and we'll produce a professional room layout using actual Fern Kids furniture at real dimensions.
You get a PDF layout you can present to your board of directors, share with a licensing body, or hand to a contractor. Every piece in the layout is a real Fern Kids product. The layout accounts for Ontario CCEYA supervision requirements and licensing zone minimums as standard.
Why it matters
Furniture decisions in early childhood settings are high-stakes. A layout that doesn't work — where zones overlap, sight lines are blocked, or piece counts are wrong for the licensed capacity — is expensive to fix after delivery. Getting the layout right before purchase removes the most common source of regret in furniture buying.
It also makes the purchasing conversation easier. Directors who arrive at the order stage with a reviewed layout know exactly what they're getting and why. There are fewer surprises, fewer substitutions, and faster delivery — because the specification work is done.
How it works
- Step 1: Share your room dimensions, age group, and licensed capacity — a rough sketch or a measurement is fine
- Step 2: Tell us how you use the space: zones you need, any fixed features (sinks, windows, doors), programming style
- Step 3: We produce a professional layout using actual Fern Kids products at real dimensions
- Step 4: We review it with you, make adjustments, and produce a final PDF for your use
- Step 5: When you're ready to order, your layout becomes your specification — no guesswork
