Welcome to the School Specialty Innovation Center

Research shows that a well-designed, innovative makerspace offers students an ideal environment for hands-on learning, allowing them to experiment and develop essential skills like problem-solving and creativity. Our solutions are functional and allow you to create a multi-purpose space, a resource center, or use for Career and Technical Education purposes.

Engaging science classrooms promote hands-on learning experiences, from Biology and Environmental Studies to Chemistry and Physics. Our furniture and equipment support technology, safety, and flexible grouping for constantly evolving instructional methods. We design our products based on how students will use them, like experiments and lab work, and create specific surfaces, storage, and designs to meet their learning needs.

Early childhood environments encourage young learners to feel safe, gain independence, and engage in hands-on learning. Our high-quality, safe, durable, and easy-to-clean Childcraft^® furniture, paired with the full selection of school supplies we offer, supports lessons aligned with early learning standards. Discover our complete selection of products for ages infant, toddler, PreK, K, Prek-3 and Pre-4.

Create a sensory space where students can disconnect from the outside world and refocus, self-regulate, and recharge. We offer products that range in stimuli to help students develop and engage their senses. While creating a sensory environment, it’s important to develop a detailed design plan based on students’ needs, including lights, colors, sounds, and sensory soft play resources to promote a safe, calming environment.

Media centers include technology resources, books, quiet spaces, makerspaces, and collaboration areas. Find everything you need to fill your space, from books to shelves and seating. Our furniture offers many options, including moveable casters, soft seating, collaboration areas, media storage, and even acoustic panels, to allow the space to be adjusted and reconfigured based on your specific needs.

An engaging classroom allows students to collaborate and learn in a variety of ways. Design your space to meet your classes’ needs. Our furniture solutions are versatile, with height-adjustable tables, chairs with glides or casters, multiple color choices, worksurface finishes, and designs that modify based on group size. Fill your room with our student-focused educational products, like inclusive lessons, games, reading materials, pocket charts, written instruction, and more.
