Infant & Toddler Playground Equipment for Daycares & Early Learning Centers
109 products
Infant and toddler playground equipment is purpose-built for children ages 6 months through 5 years — scaled down in height, engineered for low-to-ground access, and designed with enclosed or partially enclosed play spaces that give caregivers sightlines while children develop motor skills, sensory processing, and social confidence at their own pace.
We carry 109 products across this category from brands including PlaygroundEquipment.com, Nature of Early Play, Ultra Play, Grounds for Play, and Angeles. The range covers infant play centers, toddler towers, sensory panels and boxes, bucket swings, crawl-and-toddle structures, discovery centers, spring riders, and themed play systems — everything a daycare yard, Head Start playground, or park tot lot needs.
Who Buys Infant & Toddler Equipment
Our primary buyers in this category are licensed childcare centers, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, preschools, church nurseries, and parks and recreation departments building dedicated tot lots. These buyers need equipment that meets ASTM F1292 and CPSC guidelines for the 6-month-to-5-year age range, holds up to daily commercial use, and passes licensing inspections. Every product in this category is specified for commercial installation — none of it is residential.
Key Equipment Types
Infant play centers are low-platform structures designed for non-walkers and early walkers, with soft decking options like ComfyTuff and high-contrast visual elements that support sensory development. Toddler towers step up in complexity, adding short slides, climbers, and activity panels appropriate for ages 2–5. Sensory boxes — mirror, bead, shape, and window panels — can be added as freestanding elements or integrated into a larger structure. Bucket swings with high backs and enclosed seats are the standard swing option for this age group.

Infant play centers are low-to-ground, enclosed or semi-enclosed structures built for children who are crawling, pulling up, or taking first steps.
