Daycare Epoxy Flooring Solutions

Daycare Epoxy Flooring — Vancouver, BC & Canada

Safe, Seamless & Built for Daily Cleaning in Childcare Environments

A daycare floor has to do more than “look nice.” It has to support active children, rolling toys, strollers, snack time messes, and constant sanitizing—day after day. Many childcare facilities struggle with floors that stain, lift at seams, trap dirt in joints, or become slippery when wet. Over time, worn floors can create maintenance headaches, safety concerns, and a less welcoming environment for families.

Priority One Epoxy Flooring provides daycare epoxy flooring solutions that are engineered for durability, hygiene, and safety. Our seamless resin flooring systems are installed across Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Delta, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and throughout BC including the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, the Interior, and Northern BC. We also support projects across Canada for multi-location operators and facility managers.

Whether you operate a private daycare, Montessori, preschool, kindergarten program, early learning centre, or childcare facility inside a community centre, school, condo, or commercial building, we help you choose the right system for your space—playrooms, hallways, kitchens, washrooms, entry zones, and staff areas—so your facility stays clean, safe, and professional.

Why Daycare & Childcare Facilities Need Specialized Flooring

Daycare floors are exposed to a unique mix of demands: active play, frequent food and drink spills, art supplies, constant cleaning, and a high expectation of cleanliness. Standard floors often fail because they include seams, grout lines, or weak edges that trap dirt and moisture.

Common daycare flooring challenges we solve:

• Seams and joints that collect crumbs, moisture, and bacteria
• Stains from juice, food, paint, markers, and cleaning chemicals
• Peeling or lifting from moisture, weak adhesives, or poor substrate prep
• Slip hazards in entry zones, washrooms, and snack areas
• Dusty concrete in basements or older buildings where slabs are deteriorating
• Frequent repairs that disrupt daily operations and staff scheduling

A properly installed epoxy or resinous flooring system creates a seamless, non-porous surface that cleans quickly, resists stains, and withstands daily wear. We can also tailor traction, sheen, and system build-up to match the specific needs of your daycare—without using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Benefits of Epoxy Flooring for Daycares

1) Seamless & Hygienic

Seamless epoxy flooring eliminates grout lines and many dirt-trapping seams. That means faster end-of-day cleanup, better hygiene, and less buildup in corners, thresholds, and high-traffic paths.

2) Easy to Sanitize (Built for Real-World Cleaning)

Daycare floors are cleaned constantly—sometimes multiple times per day. Our systems are chosen to resist the routine cleaners and disinfectants commonly used in childcare settings, helping the finish stay consistent and easier to maintain.

3) Slip-Resistance Where You Need It

We can create a floor that is easy to clean while still providing traction in areas prone to water or spills (entryways, washrooms, snack rooms, and near sinks). We can also create different traction “zones” within the same facility if needed.

4) Durable Under Toys, Chairs & Constant Traffic

Rolling toys, small chairs, moving shelving, and continuous foot traffic can damage many surfaces. A properly built epoxy flooring system resists abrasion and impacts, helping your daycare stay looking professional longer.

5) Bright, Clean Look That Builds Trust

Parents notice floors. A clean, modern daycare floor improves first impressions and helps reinforce that the facility is well-maintained. We offer a variety of colour and finish options to complement your branding and interior design.

Where Daycare Epoxy Flooring Makes the Biggest Difference

Playrooms & Activity Areas

Playrooms take the most wear—running, jumping, art projects, snacks, and high energy all day. Epoxy flooring provides a seamless surface that resists stains and is easy to maintain, while traction options help improve safety.

Entryways, Vestibules & Mud Areas

These zones face wet boots, rain, snow, and grit that scratches floors. A textured, durable resin system can improve traction while protecting the underlying slab and reducing long-term wear.

Washrooms & Change Areas

Moisture control is critical. Epoxy and resinous floors can be designed for wet cleaning and frequent sanitation, with slip-resistance and seamless transitions that reduce dirt traps and maintenance time.

Kitchens, Snack Rooms & Food Prep Areas

Food service areas need strong stain resistance and easy cleaning. Depending on conditions, we may recommend a more robust system build-up for chemical resistance and long-term performance.

Hallways & Common Paths

Hallways concentrate traffic into narrow paths. Resin flooring helps prevent ugly wear lanes and makes routine cleaning faster—especially in facilities with multiple rooms and high daily turnover.

Staff Rooms & Storage Rooms

Storage rooms and staff areas often see heavy shelving and rolling loads. Epoxy flooring creates a durable, dust-free surface that supports everyday use and keeps the facility looking consistent.

Daycare Resin Flooring Systems We Install

High-Build Epoxy Flooring (Seamless & Durable)

High-build epoxy systems create a thick, seamless surface designed for durability and easy cleaning. This is a strong choice for playrooms, hallways, staff areas, and multi-purpose daycare spaces where long-term performance matters.

Quartz Broadcast Epoxy (Added Traction)

Quartz broadcast systems add texture for slip-resistance and improved wear performance. These are ideal for entry zones, washrooms, and areas where traction is a priority, while still maintaining a cleanable, seamless finish.

Polyaspartic / Polyurethane Topcoats (Finish Protection)

A topcoat can enhance scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and long-term appearance. This is often helpful in childcare environments where frequent cleaning is expected and downtime needs to be minimized.

Moisture Mitigation (When Concrete Needs It)

Some daycare spaces—especially in older buildings or below-grade areas—have moisture issues that can cause flooring failures. We assess the slab and can recommend moisture control layers when needed to help prevent blistering or debonding.

Important: The “best” daycare floor depends on the slab condition, traffic, cleaning routines, and the specific rooms in your facility. We design the system to match your real-world needs—not a generic product pitch.

Our Daycare Epoxy Flooring Installation Process

Performance starts with preparation. Many floor failures in childcare facilities happen because the surface was not properly prepared, moisture was ignored, or repairs were skipped. Our process is built around long-term adhesion and durability:

1. On-Site Assessment: We review slab condition, room use, traffic patterns, and cleaning routines.
2. Surface Preparation: Diamond grinding or shot blasting to achieve the correct concrete profile.
3. Repairs & Leveling: Crack repair, spall repair, joint work, and smoothing as required.
4. Priming: Apply primer suited to the substrate and specified system build.
5. System Build-Up: Install epoxy layers and (if specified) quartz broadcast for traction.
6. Topcoat: Apply protective topcoat for long-term wear resistance and easier maintenance.
7. Final Walkthrough: Confirm finish and provide care recommendations for staff.

We can often schedule installations around closures, weekends, or phased room-by-room work to reduce disruption and help you reopen quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is epoxy flooring safe for daycares and childcare centres?

When properly selected and installed, resinous flooring can be an excellent option for daycare environments because it is seamless, easy to clean, and can be built with slip-resistant finishes. We recommend the system based on room use and safety needs.

Does daycare epoxy flooring get slippery?

It can be tailored to avoid that. We can add traction through broadcast aggregates and choose finish levels that improve grip, especially in entryways, washrooms, and snack zones where spills are common.

How long does daycare epoxy flooring last?

Lifespan depends on traffic, cleaning routines, and system build. With proper preparation and maintenance, many daycare resin floors can perform for 10+ years and longer in moderate-wear areas.

How long does installation take?

Many daycare projects are completed in 2–4 days depending on repairs, room count, and the selected system. We can often phase work to help reduce downtime.

Can you install epoxy flooring over old flooring?

Sometimes—depending on what’s there and how well it is bonded. In many cases, removing failing layers and preparing the concrete properly is the best path to long-term performance. We assess and recommend the right approach.

What rooms in a daycare benefit most from epoxy?

Playrooms, hallways, washrooms, entryways, snack areas, kitchens, staff rooms, and storage rooms all benefit—especially where easy cleaning, stain resistance, and durability are important.
