Let me know if you need any more info. I know the owner pretty well and a lot of the staff.

Let us know the rates you get quoted. When my son was first in the nursery it was 185 a week 2 years ago. Somehow the cost has stayed the same over the past 2.8 years. Rate increases always seem to come at the same time your kid moved to the next level where you anticipate a price drop.

Also my best advice with a small child is to make sure the nursery is very big and no toddlers are ever allowed in there. The first daycare my son was in even though it was against their rules they would periodically have a toddler in there with a snotty nose and the room was very small.

Listen here, hippy. Unless you have something constructive to add, stop trolling. Not all of us have the free time to protest and attend the Ferguson riots. So put on your "i can't breathe" t-shirt and go troll elsewhere.



Not a hippy, not a liberal. I'm a very traditionalist Catholic and right winger that understands it's pricks like you, who rather than raise their child correctly, pawn your children off to "the help". And you fail to provide a solid foundation of morals that your children will carry with them. It's my generation that has gone off and been led to socialism even though it was capitalism that gave them their high quality of life. Your need for more material possessions drives you to replace priority of family with a priority to work for more goodies. Shameful.

Learning Center off Perkins is a joke! Stay as far away from that place.

He was born in September, and he was supposed to get in, in another daycare, but they pretty much screwed us over, and told us nothing is available until May. Problem is, we've been signed up since last February, and they told us that we had a spot to get in next month. So any good places out there. We live in South BR.


Haha Welcome to the "got screwed over" club. When my wife and I found out we were expecting, she was in her last year at LSU. Our daughter was due in February the next year, so in June the summer before we put our daughter on the waiting list at the LSU Child Care Center. Our daughter was first on the list for that spring semester. We never got in haha They use a sibling system which prioritizes siblings of current enrollees. They told us they even had to turn down another 9 siblings due to no room. Most places around here do this too. Child care in BR is a bitch. Good luck. St Aloysius and Country Day looked great, but we found an alternative. We ended up using my wifes TA's wife, who was fantastic with our daughter, and she has a degree in Early Childhood Development. I would gladly give you her contact information. They live real close to LSU. Email me <<<@lsu.edu

Any catholic school usually has a prek starting at 1 or 2.

Hours sometimes 7:30-3:30. Gotta call and check.

Also best care.

I would try Beth shalom first. They are AWESOME.

I send my kid to Florida Blvd Baptist and I couldn't be happier. It's actually kind of out the way for me but they had such good reviews. My kid is two and I think it's 175 a week which was higher than a bunch but worth it IMO.

I'm expecting in a few weeks, and have a few friends with babies on the way, so day care has been a common topic.

My wife and I looked at Early Learning Center, University United, LSU, Christian Life, Southside Development Center, and a few others located close to Southdowns. We had no chance at Alloysius due to the list and the acceptance parameters.

We're on the waiting list at ELC, and at LSU. We have a spot at Christian Life for sure until LSU opens up. LSU only takes in infants in the fall, so those spots are hard to come by. We got on the list very early and it's still iffy if we'll make it in this fall. ELC had about a 2-year list. Christian Life has some availability, I think.

Some coworkers use Kindercare by OLOL and like it a lot, but turnover seems to be an issue there, and reviews online are spotty.

I RA'd. Take that garbage elsewhere if you want to get a rise out of people. This man is trying to find a daycare for his child. GTFO

We send our little 8 month old to Florida Blvd Baptist. The workers are great and while expensive worth the costs. They give us a sheet each day with a break down of all his naps, diapers (wet/poop), feedings, and if he did anything they think we should watch. As a previous person stated its $175.

For what its worth before we got him in Florida Blvd Baptist, we were on the waiting list at Beth Shalom and Broadmoor Presbyterian and would have been happy at either.
