"Caring For Shreveport's Children Since 1976" Child Day Care Center & Preschool
The Best in Child Care and Early Education Our Staff We have been blessed with wonderful staff over the 31 years we have been open. We have five full time staff members that have been working at La Petite Ecole for a total of 130 years. That averages to 26 years each at the same center! We require on-going training for our staff through classes they attend to continue their education revolving around children. Additionally, our staff maintains certificates in First Aid and CPR.
At Friends for Life Child Care, we believe every child deserves more than just a place to spend the day. They deserve a place where they feel loved, valued, encouraged, and inspired to grow. Proudly serving families in Shreveport, Louisiana, our approach to child care is rooted in compassion, meaningful relationships, and a genuine commitment to early childhood development. We recognize that every child is unique, with their own personality, interests, and developmental needs. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where children can explore, learn, build friendships, and develop the confidence they need for the next stages of life. We also understand that choosing child care is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. That's why we value open communication, strong relationships with families, and treating every child with patience, kindness, and respect. At Friends for Life Child Care, we're not simply caring for children—we're helping nurture little hearts, encourage growing minds, and build relationships that can last a lifetime. Because here, it's more than child care. It's a foundation for life.

Our center is committed to providing the absolute best early childhood education for young children. We understand that we are preparing children for the variety of experiences ahead of them, not only in school, but in life. Current research in early childhood education and neuroscience teaches us that the best way to do so is to focus on the simultaneous development of the whole child. It is our goal to provide opportunities and support for children to develop their identity within the domains of social-emotional, fine, and gross motor, language, imaginative, and cognitive skills. We do this by providing an enriching and intentional environment in which children can wonder, learn, and grow. Together with the children, teachers serve as co-researchers, exploring the many questions young children have about the world in which they live. A cornerstone of our program is our belief in children's natural creativity. We know children get great pleasure from being involved in the arts, and so we encourage this at every age. Children learn skills and gain immense self-esteem when given diverse opportunities to create. Art is an integral part of our program, and we provide a wide array of materials for creating.
