  Our daughter has been at the Child Development Cooperative since she was 7 months old, and it's hands down one of the best decisions we've made for her. The Coop believes kids learn best by being kids... playing, going barefoot, exploring, asking questions, and learning by doing. It's joyful, messy, and exactly how childhood should be. The staff is incredibly kind and thoughtful, giving children the guidance they need while encouraging them to solve problems and build confidence on their own. I'm certain my daughter's strong sense of independence and self-confidence have been shaped in part by her time there. And then there is the community. The parent work days and events have led to some of the greatest friendships. Leaving for Kindergarten is bittersweet. We are so grateful to everyone at The Coop for helping us raise such a capable, curious, joyful little human. <3

  The Co-op is a hidden gem! From the directors' to the teachers, everyone truly has your child's best interest at heart. They help instill independence, encourage children to use their imagination, and teach kindness and respect amongst everyone. It is also unique in that it is run as a community. Everyone-- parents, teachers, and kids alike -- get the chance to connect with one another through outings and social events. It is unlike any daycare we have ever attended, and I really wish all of my kids had gotten the chance to go here. My daughter has absolutely flourished and we are so grateful to have found such an amazing atmosphere for her to learn and grow!

  The Co-op is EXACTLY what every childcare center should be. The staff are loving, consistent, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. It is so much more than childcare. They are fostering and raising my kids right alongside me. They understand that kids learn through play and boy do they play!! They also are very intentional with planned activities and the sense of community is incredible. I credit them for bringing out such independence and confidence in my children. We love the co op!!

  Hands down, "The Co-op" is the BEST early learning center in Baton Rouge! The teachers are amazing. They build loving relationships with each child and get to know all the children on an individual level. The turn over rate is low so you also get the chance to build a relationship with the ones taking care of your children all day. Whether it's teething, napping, or potty training, the teachers are great at collaborating with parents so that each child is guided through each new challenge. There’s a beautiful balance of free play and intentional activities, so children learn through doing, imagining, and collaborating. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I especially appreciate how this program supports all areas of development—fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, social-emotional growth, and problem-solving—through meaningful, play-based experiences. It’s the kind of learning that feels natural and joyful, yet is building a strong foundation for lifelong skills. It’s not just a childcare program—it’s a community. There are art shows, family work days, parents night out at Radio Bar, and field trips to strawberry patches (just to name a few). Through these experiences our family has built relationships with other families. The Co-op is where I formed my own tribe of moms who have become like family. We support each other and have watched each other's children grow. This is truly a magical place. ✨️

  The Coop has been the best thing to happen to our family. We have two children there and they absolutely love it! We love the Reggio Philosophy inclusion and that they provide plenty of outside exploration. Our youngest recently got glasses but we noticed and discussed this with her teacher at coop before visiting the pediatrician. Her Teacher mentioned she was noticing some of the same eye issues we noticed and that was super helpful to know we were not just hovering worrisome parents. They have been such a great support to help her transition to wearing and getting used to them. All the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. I credit so much of our children's independence and empathy to coop!

  Our two kids spent 4 wonderful years at the Co-Op, and we loved Ms. Jennifer and all of the teachers. My oldest (now 8) still asks to go back and see her teachers and friends from the co-op. Highly recommended!!!!
