We seek the very best teachers for your child. Our lead teachers either have Early Childhood Education degrees or they are in programs pursuing their diplomas. Potential job candidates must have experience and/or training in early childhood education. New hires are required to go through orientation and a week of rigorous training. The staff also must have fingerprint and background checks, CPR and first-aid training, and 12 clock hours of continuing education annually. All staff has been vaccinated for COVID-19.
The menu also plays an integral role in our program and features fresh beef, chicken and turkey. We do not serve pork products or processed meals such as chicken nuggets, frozen pizzas, fish sticks, corn dogs and hot dogs. We prepare healthy meals from scratch daily and serve two afternoon snacks that include fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. We also cater to children with allergies and make meals specific to their needs.
The Learning Center, a licensed Type III facility, is an approved respite care center for first responders and essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. We participate in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). The Learning Center is also a proud member of the Childcare Association of Louisiana and the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
