This is where the youngest children at Harvest Academy spend their days. Right now it's serviceable but tired — worn carpet, mismatched furniture, and toys everywhere. The vision is light and calm: fresh wood-look flooring, simple cubbies for organized play, a kid-height table for crafts and snacks, a cozy reading nook with a soft chair and a book display, gentle Scripture on the walls, and a little greenery. It's the kind of warm, well-ordered space that helps small children feel safe and settled — and helps their teachers do their best work.
Tear out the old carpet and tack strips, prep the subfloor, and install new wood-look LVP across the room. Then set up the refresh: assemble and anchor cubbies, place the kid-height table and chairs, build out the reading corner with a soft chair, bean bag, and book display, lay rugs, hang three framed scripture prints, add lamps and plants, and organize toys into labeled baskets.

Flooring decision drives cost and difficulty — pull back a carpet corner to check the subfloor; if sound and flat, LVP can float over underlayment (volunteer-doable with an experienced lead). If damaged or uneven, it needs prep first. Keep the existing tile at the kitchenette — meet it with a transition strip and confirm height match (no trip edge — toddler room). Use low-VOC/kid-safe LVP and adhesive, round-edged furniture, and anti-tip wall anchors on all cubby units (tip-over risk with climbing toddlers). Confirm relocation plan for current toys, furniture, and the brown recliner. Paint is out of scope — flag if you want it added. Ceiling, lighting, windows, door, EXIT sign, kitchenette sink/counter/cabinet, and the existing tile floor all stay as-is. Measure the room before buying flooring to tighten the LVP quantity and cost.
Multi-family or business project — ideal split: a flooring-experienced family or flooring company sponsors the LVP (materials + skilled labor); a warm, kid-friendly decorating family handles furniture, reading corner, and styling. A flooring retailer is a high-impact material sponsor.
