Southside is unique in the Baton Rouge area because of what we offer. Even though we are family-owned and operated, Southside has always provided the highest level of childcare in the Baton Rouge area. Our mission statement holds us to a higher level of accountability than the Department of Education's minimum guidelines. Your child will be provided with a degreed Teacher, lower ratios than the state's teacher/child ratios, all diaper and wipes, up to a 10 hour day of love,care and learning. Our professional chef prepares at least three of our five lunches per week, completely from scratch. We serve Kleinpeter milk to our children, which has no growth hormones in it. We provide a beautiful play yard for each individual class. All classrooms have a full-time teacher and full-time assistant. We are conveniently located off of College Dr. We have been providing high-quality childcare for over 24 years!
Little Hands Early Learning Center is a warm, structured, and nurturing home-based childcare program serving children ages 18 months to 5 years. We focus on helping children grow emotionally, socially, and academically through hands-on learning, creative play, and a safe, loving environment. With small group sizes, personalized attention, and consistent routines, every child feels seen, supported, and ready to thrive. Parents choose us because we offer a clean, organized space, nutritious CACFP-approved meals, and strong family partnerships built on trust, communication, and care.
