The Parenting Center

Helping Parents Grow

The Parenting Center at Children's Hospital helps parents and grandparents with the ordinary challenges of raising children. Our staff of Parent Educators come from a variety of backgrounds to help families grow from birth through adolescence. The Center provides classes, a lending library and a playroom. Our Parent Educators are available by phone and email to talk about your parenting questions and challenges from typical issues like eating and sleep, welcoming a new baby, communicating with your teen, and more!

Please call 504.896.9591 or email chparenting@lcmchealth.org to register for classes.

The Playroom is open and COVID precautions are in place. Make a reservation to come and play! Call 504.896.9591 or online.

Watch our live parenting segment on WWLTV's cable network, WUPL 54, every other Tuesday morning at about 8:40 a.m.

The Parenting Center serves as a:

Resource center where parents can learn about child development and parenting skills
Support center where parents can discuss concerns with other parents and staff
Referral center where parents can receive direction to community resources, and
PLACE to PLAY!
