For daycares, preschools & classrooms
Name signs for every room, cut one at a time.
Yes, these come in sets, and there is no minimum. A set of six costs the same per piece as a set of sixty, because every one is cut to order in the same studio either way. Send the list of names and I will cut them together so the grain and finish match across the whole room.

-
Room and group names
Butterflies, Sunflowers, Explorers. One sign per room, cut from solid wood and finished so it can be wiped down without going cloudy.
-
Cubby and hook labels
A child’s name on a small piece of wood beats a laminated card that curls by October. Set them all at once and swap only the ones that change.
-
Teacher door signs
The one families read on the first morning. A name, a room, and something that says a person works here rather than a department.
-
Welcome and entrance signs
The piece parents stand next to for the first-day photo. Larger stock, deeper engraving, and a finish that survives a doorway.
How ordering a set works
Email or use the contact form with your list, one name per line, and say which type of sign each one is for. I will come back with a layout to approve before anything is cut, because a misspelled child’s name is the one mistake worth an extra day to avoid.
Once the layout is approved, cutting starts within 24 hours. Sets ship together so you unpack the room in one go rather than opening a box a day for two weeks.
Quantities and timing for a full center vary enough that quoting a number here would be guesswork. Tell me the count and the date you need them by, and I will give you a firm answer.
Is there a minimum order?
No. This is a one-maker studio, not a factory with a fifty-unit floor, which is the practical difference between here and most of the wholesale suppliers you will find searching for bulk wood signs. One cubby label is a real order. So is a whole hallway.
Do the names have to match?
Not at all. Every piece is cut individually, so mixing a large welcome sign, eight room names and thirty cubby labels in one order costs no more per piece than ordering thirty identical ones. Nothing here is stamped from a mold.
What about the wood?
Solid hardwood rather than printed board, sealed so a wipe-down does not lift the finish. If you want the detail on which species suit a high-traffic room, the wood types guide covers how each one takes an engraving and wears over time, and the cleaning guide covers the wipe-down without the cloudiness.
Start with a piece you can hold
If you would rather see the work before committing a room to it, the safari closet dividers are the same material and the same engraving at the smallest size I make, and the nursery signs collection shows the range at room scale.
