Planning a Daycare & Preschool Move

A daycare move is organized around the rooms children will use. Infant cribs and changing-area storage belong in one group; preschool cubbies, nap cots, low tables, and activity materials belong in another. Your director decides room assignments before children return. We turn that map into labels and a delivery order, keeping age groups separate through placement.

The move date is one checkpoint. For a licensed child care center changing location, Texas HHS Child Care Regulation addresses inspection and permit steps for the new address. Your operator works with the agency and decides when the site may reopen. We place movable contents so the director can review each room and prepare for the applicable inspection; the moving crew does not make a licensing determination. At a shared building, we plan a carry route clear of occupied care areas. See our education and civic moving overview for the wider service area.

Who usually signs off
Center owner or director responsible for the new site's room plan and reopening decision
Timing that works
Work around the last day of care at the old site, the new site's room setup, and the director's inspection and permit process before reopening.

What typically moves

  • Infant cribs and crib mattresses The director identifies each crib's destination and provides any manufacturer disassembly instructions; mattresses travel covered and paired with their frames.
  • Stackable nap cots and cot racks Cots stay grouped by assigned room, with bedding packed separately by center staff according to their own cleaning plan.
  • Preschool cubbies and coat hooks on movable units Personal contents are removed first; each freestanding unit carries a destination room label before it is wrapped.
  • Low activity tables and child-size chairs Grouped to the age room on the destination map so infant, toddler, and preschool layouts can be set independently.
  • Book bins, sensory tables, and play kitchen units Loose pieces are bagged or boxed by activity area, while staff decide which materials are ready to use at the new site.
  • Classroom supply carts and art drying racks Staff sort paints and other contents; we secure empty drawers and move the carts to their assigned room.

Access and scheduling

Start with the last day of care and the date new rooms can accept contents. A weekend or evening window may separate moving from drop-off and pickup; the center decides when children and staff are clear of the route. We ask which rooms can be loaded first, which items stay in use until closing, and whether the parent entrance must remain open. The destination map should name rooms by age group and show where cribs, cots, and cubbies will stand.

At the new address, we check parking, gates, ramps, interior turns, and each care room's doorway. A leased suite may have delivery-hour rules or request a Certificate of Insurance; we can provide one. The director coordinates staff, vendors, and any Texas HHS Child Care Regulation visit. We schedule placement around those activities, leaving the center to confirm inspection and permit steps before reopening.

Protection and handling

Crib parts are marked to their frames before disassembly, with hardware bagged to each frame. We follow available manufacturer instructions and ask which cribs need supplier handling. Wrapped frames, covered mattresses, and stacked cots travel separately. At delivery, we place them in assigned rooms; the center checks each sleep setup before use.

Cubbies and low shelves are emptied before carrying. We pad exposed corners and protect doorways where wide units turn into small classrooms. Activity bins receive room and area labels, rather than one general preschool label. Your staff handles children's belongings, medication, food, and confidential records under center policy. An installer or licensed trade handles fixed sinks, mounted changing stations, and connected appliances. Our crew moves the agreed movable inventory and leaves rooms accessible for the director's setup review.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

New-address licensing, inspection, and reopening decision
The center's operator works with Texas HHS Child Care Regulation, confirms the applicable inspection and permit steps, and decides when care resumes. We place movable contents to the approved room map.
Crib use checks and manufacturer-specific setup
The director or crib supplier confirms assembly requirements and checks each crib before use. Our crew can move and reassemble a crib when its instructions and agreed scope allow.
Fixed changing stations, sinks, and connected appliances
Your installer or licensed trade removes and reinstalls fixed or connected equipment. We move freestanding storage after it is emptied and released.

Not part of our work

  • Deciding room capacity, child placement, or whether the new address is cleared for care; the operator and applicable regulator make those decisions.
  • Packing medication, food, children's personal belongings, or confidential child records without the center's own handling plan.
  • Removing anchored fixtures or disconnecting plumbing and electrical connections; the center arranges the appropriate trade.

Around San Antonio and the Hill Country

A San Antonio center near Stone Oak or Loop 1604 may share a drive with other tenants; a site toward Boerne or Kerrville may have a longer carry to the infant rooms. We check the drop-off lane, service door, and room entrances to route cribs and cubbies without blocking staff access.

Daycare & Preschool Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (830) 329-7272.

Can you arrange infant cribs before the new center's licensing inspection?

We can place and, when manufacturer instructions allow, reassemble cribs in assigned rooms. The director or supplier checks each unit before use. Your operator coordinates the new location's inspection and permit process with Texas HHS Child Care Regulation and confirms when care can begin. Share the room map and inspection access needs before we set the delivery sequence.

How do you keep toddler cots and preschool cubbies with the right room?

Give us a destination list separating infant, toddler, and preschool rooms and identifying each room's sleep and personal-storage pieces. We label cubbies, cot racks, and grouped cots before loading. Staff empty children's cubbies and keep personal items under the center's plan. At delivery, the director checks each room against the list before children return.

What stays at the old daycare until the last day of care?

Your director decides which cribs, cots, tables, and supplies remain in use at the old site. We can move released rooms or spare equipment first, then collect last-use items after the center closes that area. Tell us which entrance and care rooms must stay clear, along with the pickup schedule, so loading fits the operating day.

Who handles mounted changing stations and the classroom sink?

Your installer or licensed trade addresses mounted stations, plumbing, and connected equipment at both addresses. We can move freestanding changing-area storage once it is emptied and listed in the inventory. The director confirms fixture locations on the new room plan before our crew places nearby cubbies or shelves, so the installer has working space.
