Kaplan’s selection of social seating options provides developmentally appropriate tools designed to help young children socialize, foster collaboration, and create a sense of community. From plush loungers and K’Motion stools, to outdoor pillows and easy-to-clean furniture, Kaplan has the right tools to enrich learning environments.
