ÌýToday, the lab school serves an exemplary program, featuring one of our state's first design-specific preschool outdoor classrooms. ÌýWe facilitate change in child-care with a continued focus on quality care, education, health, and safety as we collaborate with other community agencies to meet the needs of families in Northeast Louisiana.Ìý
