Kindergartens are one of the most vulnerable areas against the earthquake, because of the age of users and lack of training them to seek shelter in this event. Create safe shelters for children in kindergartens, is one of the most important design requirements that is ignored in the construction of this important space. Since most of the kindergartens are spaces that converted from another usage, so some solutions should be considered for kindergartens status quo to be safe against earthquake. The purpose of this search is establishing practical guidelines for the safety of child care spaces, as one of the most dangerous places against earthquake. The research questions that arise are:

1) how can make safe the kindergartens againstearthquake?
2) Can kindergartens be secure against earthquakes for users of these spaces, children, with
use
of furniture?

To answer these questions,first the idea of the triangle of life, have studied and analyzed the relationship between furniture and it. The research method used in this study, is library method according the study of the available samples. The results show that we can get maximum safety against this natural disaster rely on the idea of the triangle of life and using specific materials of furniture in kindergartens with training the children along playing haw to seek shelter during an earthquake within each class, and in the nearest possible space.
