For over three decades, Kids Count has been providing the highest quality childcare and early education in the Baton Rouge area. We offer fulltime care for children from 6 weeks of age up to 4 years old. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 6:30am until 6pm. We are located in Mid-City, off of Government Street near Jefferson Highway, but we have children and families that come from all over the city. 

 

At Kids Count, we implement a comprehensive approach to early learning focused on "the whole child" (social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development). We provide a safe, warm, loving environment, where children are encouraged to explore and learn through play. We build on a standardized curriculum to incorporate elements of several different hands-on learning methods in order to provide children foundations that will prepare them to excel in elementary school and beyond. Lesson plans are drafted by each teacher and tailored to the needs and abilities of each class. We offer small class sizes so that each child gets the individual attention they deserve and we work closely with families and caregivers to make our center feel like an extension of home.

​

Most of our children go on to one of a handful of nearby private elementary schools after graduation from Kids Count. With this in mind, we work closely with those schools and administrators to ensure that our children are well prepared if not already meeting the learning objectives and milestones expected of them at those institutions. KC parents find that their children have already been exposed to and in some cases, have grasped, many of the new concepts introduced in elementary school and teachers report to us that our graduating students come to them well-socialized and often present as leaders in their elementary school classrooms.

Due to high demand, Kids Count enrolls students on a full-time basis and maintains a limited waiting list based on anticipated openings and availability.
