The Smart Choice for Transporting Precious Cargo

Transporting little passengers is a big responsibility. At Carolina Thomas, we understand the importance of keeping children safe — and helping you stay confident behind the wheel, no matter the conditions. That’s why we offer Thomas Built child care buses, constructed to the same legendary standards as their school buses — with modifications designed for non-school transport, such as no stop arms, flashing lights, or yellow paint, as defined by Multi-Function School Activity Bus (MFSAB) standards.

Unlike 15-passenger vans, these buses meet all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), offering superior construction, comfort, and visibility. From the 14-passenger non-CDL MyBus to larger Minotour configurations, there’s a model to meet the needs of both independent child care providers and large multi-site organizations.

And with Carolina Thomas, you get more than a bus. You get a trusted partner who stands behind your purchase with complete service and parts, collision repair, refinishing and custom graphics, comprehensive warranty support, and flexible financing options — all under one roof, right here in North Carolina.

Let’s find the right child care bus for your center.
