The number of cots you need for your preschool is dependent on total enrollment, napping schedule, and space availability. Generally, one cot per napping child is a good baseline to start. Keep in mind the storage availability for preschool cots as they do take up space in each classroom.

Preschool and daycare cots are very affordable and can be purchased individually or in numbered sets. At School Outfitters, we have individual cots that are less than $35 and go up from there depending on the style and number of cots your preschool needs. Your School Outfitters rep can guide you through costs and help stay within your budget.

Preschool cots are made to withstand everyday classroom use with 18-gauge steel frames, mesh fabric that’s breathable, vinyl coating that’s easy to clean, and copolymer corners for easy stacking. They have a sturdy construction and rounded edges perfect for preschool students.

Daycare cots are generally suited for a specific age range and are designed for the safety and comfort of daycare/preschool ages. Younger children may need cribs with sides for additional safety. Daycare cots have a weight limit, so older students may need something a little larger. School Outfitters has all your sleep and napping solutions for every age range.

Cot sheets and cot dollies are available to purchase for added comfort and easy storage. Provide an extra layer of comfort with our cotton and/or polyester sheets with elastic corners. School Outfitters also offers a standard cot dolly so you can easily maneuver all your daycare cots within the classroom or from room to room for shared usage.

The preschool cot accessories are sold separately, so you can customize what you need and leave out what you don’t. If you’re purchasing a pack of cots, a set of four castors will typically be included for most packs for easy mobility. Simply attach the castors to the bottom of the stack of preschool cots and turn it into a convenient dolly.

Daycare cots are easy to clean and easy to store. These cots feature materials that can be sanitized and even bleached if necessary. Stack and store daycare cots in a clean and dry area to ensure contamination doesn’t happen when not in use.

Store preschool cots in a way that best maximizes your classroom space while maintaining their cleanliness and ensuring easy access to them when needed. Nap time is a daily occurrence, so maneuverability is important. Use stackable cots with castors or add a cot dolly. Make sure there is good air circulation, and that they’re stored in a dry space.
