Daycare Preschool Parking Lot Striping in Lebanon, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Striping a Daycare or Preschool Lot in Lebanon

A daycare lot has the highest stakes of any commercial property, because small children move through it twice a day. Parents arrive in a rush at drop-off, hurry again at pickup, and somewhere in between a toddler can slip a hand and dart toward a car. The striping is the quiet system that keeps that chaos safe — a marked drop-off queue, a protected crosswalk, a clear staff zone that keeps the active lanes open.

Lebanon's daycares and preschools serve families across Linn County, with sites near the Santiam Highway (Highway 20) and Main Street corridor on the South Santiam valley floor. The valley clay soil and long wet season shape how lots drain and how child-safety markings hold up through the rainy months.

This guide covers what a daycare striping project involves in Linn County, the layout decisions that protect children, and the industry cost ranges to plan around.

What Daycare and Preschool Lot Striping Includes

A daycare restripe is built entirely around the twice-daily rush and child safety.

• Parent drop-off and pickup queue choreography so the line forms in order without blocking the road
• ADA-compliant accessible spaces and stroller-loading stalls with extra width for car seats and strollers
• A clearly marked staff-only zone that keeps employee cars out of the active drop-off lanes
• Bus or van loading striping for facilities that run their own transport
• Crossing-guard crosswalk paint on the route children walk from the lot to the door
• Bold, child-safety speed and keep-clear markings throughout

The drop-off and pickup choreography is the heart of the design. A clear, one-directional queue with a defined loading point keeps cars moving and keeps children from crossing behind reversing vehicles.

Lebanon Striping Cost: Industry Baseline Ranges

These are industry baseline ranges from national contractor surveys, not a Cojo quote. Real costs in Lebanon vary with lot size, surface condition, and the child-safety scope a daycare requires.

Service	Industry Baseline Range
Per-space restriping	$3–$6 per space
Full restripe, 20–40 space lot	$250–$550
New layout / full redesign, 20–40 spaces	$500–$1,000
ADA-compliant space (complete)	$200–$350 per space
Crosswalk striping (per LF)	$0.30–$0.65
Directional arrows	$25–$50 each
Stencils (DROP-OFF, STAFF, SLOW)	$30–$75 each

Daycare lots are usually small, so a restripe lands in the lower band — but crosswalks, drop-off markings, and stencils make up a larger share than a typical lot because safety markings matter most here. See our parking lot striping cost in Oregon guide for regional context.

Valley Clay and Willamette Weather

Lebanon sits on the Willamette Valley floor, where clay-heavy soil holds water and the rainy season runs long. For a daycare lot, drainage matters where children walk — pooling water over clay subgrade can crack crosswalk paint and create slick spots near the door, so striping should follow a clean, well-drained surface.

The valley's warm, dry summers are ideal for traffic paint to cure, so the striping season runs late spring through early fall. The crosswalks and drop-off lane take heavy foot and tire traffic, so many daycare managers spec a more durable paint there, where wear and visibility matter most, while using standard latex on staff and general areas.

Scheduling around a confirmed dry stretch — and around the daycare's hours — is the way to keep safety markings sharp.

Layout Priorities for a Daycare Lot

A daycare lot rewards a strict priority order, with safety first at every step.

Child safety leads everything. Crosswalks, a defined drop-off loading point, and bold slow-zone markings protect children moving between cars and the door.

Drop-off and pickup flow is second. A one-directional, well-marked queue keeps the rush orderly and keeps cars from blocking the road or reversing near children.

ADA and stroller loading are protected. Accessible spaces and stroller-loading stalls go on the shortest level path, sized for car seats and strollers.

Staff parking is separated. A clear staff-only zone keeps employee cars out of the active lanes during the busiest moments.

Restripe or Redesign?

If your Lebanon daycare lot already has a safe, one-directional drop-off and clear crosswalks and the lines have just faded, a restripe is the efficient path. If the drop-off queue tangles, the crosswalk is worn, or children have to cross active lanes to reach the door, a redesign that reworks the flow is worth every dollar.

A redesign adds measuring and planning cost, but for a property where child safety is the whole point, a clear, protective layout is non-negotiable.
