About The Childrens Factory
  | The Children's Factory was born in the attic of a home in Kirkwood, Missouri in early 1982. Mike had a dream...to create soft play environments in which children could safely romp and play. At the time, soft gross motor play didn't exist. Mike started with single geometric foam shapes sized for preschoolers, encased them in easily cleanable hygienic covers and used Velcro to attach them together. The first two years in business, sewing was done in the back of an old tavern by a women's quilting group.
Experimenting with different sizes, shapes and textures, Children's Factory's business grew rapidly. Focusing on the preschool institutional market the product mix grew and expanded, and today is sold by distributors throughout the United States and all around the World.
Ten years ago Barbara holding a Masters Degree in Social Work, joined the management team to handle Human Resources. She had raised 5 children and currently has 5 grandchildren so she certainly can handle the children at Children's Factory. They share management responsibilities and employ over 100 people.
The Children's Factory currently manufactures all of their products in a technologically advanced plant that encompasses over 100,000 square feet. All of the products meet or exceed current safety standards. Quality control is a byproduct of our computer cutting and rigid inspection procedures.
This product line has expanded exponentially as each year we add new and improved products. Play is a child's most important work and Children's Factory continues to be the World Leader in Soft Play. Innovation and a passion for safe successful play continue to fuel our growth
