The Nursery ~ The place for babies. Love. Learn. Grow.

6 weeks to 4 years

January 22, 2015
Two years ago Leah Rhodes and Andrew Lee were faced with a problem that many expecting parents face: finding a good daycare for their baby. When they realized all of their top choices for daycare had long waiting lists, they started researching other avenues. After lots of research, they decided the permanent solution to their situation was to actually create a childcare program- The Nursery, with their son, Anderson as the first enrollee!

Fast forward two years and you will find a thriving child care center with two locations. The Nursery's mission is to provide a childcare program where the needs and interests of children come first.  With all of the Rhodes-Lees hard work and a team of fantastic teachers, they have established a high end childcare with many distinctive features that sets it apart from the rest.  

One of the unique aspects about The Nursery is its food program. The center employs a nutrition consultant who freshly prepares all of the children’s food.  Their chef offers low-sugar, whole grain meals and snacks that are freshly prepared on site.  Menu items change daily in order to expose the children to many different foods and textures.  

Another feature that sets The Nursery apart is its small, home-like atmosphere. With degreed lead teachers and a ratio of no more than five students per teacher, The Nursery is able to give your child all the attention he or she needs.  All this extra love and attention can go a long way with the little ones.  

An additional unique trait of The Nursery is its convenience. They have two locations that are centrally located.  
The original Mid-City location is on Canal Street off of Carrollton Avenue. On October 1st they opened up a second center on Josephine Street in the Lower Garden District. Parents that live or work on both sides of the city can benefit from these two convenient spots.  And The Nursery has done a tremendous job of maintaining their high standards and small, home-like feel at both locations.  

The Nursery serves children 6-weeks to 24-months at its Mid-City location and 6-weeks to 4 years old at its Garden District location.  Tours are available once a month at each center, by appointment.  Please visit www.NurseryLearningCenter.com for more information or contact the program coordinator, Olivia, at oguider@nurserylearningcenter.com to schedule a tour.
