WHO WE ARE

It all started with a need: safe, soft play environments for preschoolers didn't exist. From this realization, our founders created the first geometric foam shapes, sewn by a local women's quilting group in the back of an old tavern. What began as a small, family-driven endeavor grew into a company with a big vision - helping children explore, grow, and learn through purposeful, fun, and imaginative products.

Today, we operate from two facilities in Union, Missouri, employing more than 100 dedicated individuals, many with over 25 years of experience. Their passion and craftsmanship ensure every product meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and care.

At Children's Factory, we believe the future is built one moment of play at a time.

Children's Factory is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
