Finding a quality childcare facility can be one of the most daunting tasks for a working parent. The Baton Rouge Area has dozens of excellent options depending on preference of location, curriculum, and cost. Volunteers of America Partnerships in Child Care offers personalized assistance in finding a quality childcare facility. Ratings for childcare options by facilities that receive public dollars can be found on the Louisiana Department of Education website.

K-12 Private Education

For those seeking a faith-based educational experience or a more private learning environment, the abundant offering of private and parochial schools in the area can meet any family’s needs.

Louisiana offers a variety of options to make great schools available to all families. Two of these options are the Louisiana Scholarship Program (Vouchers) and the Tuition Rebate Program. Both programs give low-income families the financial resources to choose a participating private school for their students.
