Providing Care and Instruction from Birth and Beyond
As part of the Lafourche Parish Early Childhood Network, our early learning centers offer daycare, before- and after-school care, and age-appropriate learning programs for children as young as 6 weeks.
About Our Network’s Early Learning Centers
Access to reliable, certified childcare presents a barrier to economic stability for many families, which can compromise their children’s health and well-being. The Lafourche Early Childhood Network recognizes this critical need, along with the fact that much of a child’s critical development takes place before age 5. For this reason, nine early learning centers throughout southern, central, and northern Lafourche have partnered with us to make childcare and early education programs affordable and accessible to children from birth to 12-16 years of age.
