 Our mission at Lagniappe Montessori and Children's
 Center is to provide a secure and comfortable en-
 vironment that is strategically designed for the stimu-
 lating development of a child socially, physically and
 emotionally.

 We recognize that the first six years of a child's life
  are crucial to human development and that education
  begins at birth. Personal development and self-
  esteem are essential for the full expression of a
  person's potential.

  Our objective is to strive for a balance between
  freedom, order and responsibility. We aspire to
  strengthen our connection with nature and the en-
  vironment and to instill in each child a love of learn-
  ing and curiosity about the world and the society in
  which he or she lives.

  When a child is educated in this manner, we believe
  that that child will become an adult whose love of
  learning and curiosity about the world leads to a harmon-
  ious, productive and rewarding life.

  Lagniappe Montessori and Children's Center is licensed
  as a Type 1 Center and regulated by the Louisiana
  Department of Education..		 "If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated
lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped
from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of trans-
mitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?"
