Special Announcements
  1. As the school year is coming to an end and summer is approaching we want to let you know that we are listening to your requests! This summer we have limited our summer camp field trips and have not booked any trips on Fridays JUST FOR YOU! Though we do have field trips in the summer please feel free to call us since some of our trips are very small and should not deter you from visiting!
  2. We want to congratulate Nickolas Day the winner of the LCDC Regional Spelling Bee! Nickolas is preparing and studying diligently in preparation for the Scripps National Spelling Bee. He won an all expenses paid trip for himself and one adult to Washington D.C and will be representing the LCDC and our 18 parish region.  
  3. The Louisiana Children's Discovery Center will be CLOSED on Mother's Day, May 13!

We really LOVE our Jr. Volunteers and want to get them all settled into the Summer Volunteer Program at the discovery center!

If you have a child 12-16 years old who would like to lend a helping hand at the discovery center then this orientation is for him or her!  Please plan to attend our Jr. Volunteer Orientation program where each Jr. Volunteer will learn all about the discovery center, our expectations and how to sign up for their volunteer time. What a great way to "give back" all while having fun and maybe earning some great community service hours!  Please download the Jr. Volunteer Application and bring the completed form to orientation with you.  Also, be sure to let us know that you are coming by emailing Kim Walker.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact her at 985-340-9150. Share the event on Facebook!
