The Parenting Center
Helping parents grow
Our Parent Educators are available by phone and email to talk about your parenting questions and challenges from typical issues like eating and sleep to the effects of the stay-at-home order on your child and your family, and tips for schooling at home.Please call 504.896.9591 or email chparenting@lcmchealth.org to register for classes or contact our Parent Educators.
Out of an abundance of caution, Children's Hospital has made the decision to temporarily close the Parenting Center in light of the evolving COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. We are planning a "soft reopening" for our members starting on March 15, and hope to reopen for new members mid-April. We care about our families and members and will reopen as soon as we feel that it is safe to do so.
In the meantime, our staff is still here to serve as a resource for you via the phone or email. Please feel free to reach out: phone 504.896.9591 or email chparentingcenter@lcmchealth.org. Thank you for your understanding and support.
The Parenting Center at Children's Hospital helps parents and grandparents with the ordinary challenges of rearing children. Our staff of parent educators come from a variety of backgrounds to help families grow from birth through adolescence. The Parenting Center Provides classes, book and video lending libraries, and a playroom.
