Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

The vendors in this section provide trustworthy, reliable furniture, fixtures, equipment, and supplies that are specifically designed for childcare facilities. They can also help to provide quotes and estimates. As a reminder, our grant dollars are obtained from a federal source and as a result must adhere to federal requirements. It is a requirement that all finalists have at least 3 quotes or estimates for each portion of their project as indicated on their Updated Budget Form. You can use the below vendors to obtain these quotes or estimates.
