About the Venue

St. Tammany Health System’s Parenting Center is a Mandeville early-childhood space focused on families with very young children. The center’s new Koop Drive home includes an indoor play area for little ones plus programming such as infant and toddler classes, play groups, and special events. It is not a big public indoor playground, but it is a strong fit for babies through preschoolers whose caregivers want a community-centered, lower-intensity play environment. Families looking for weekday open play and developmental programming will find it especially useful.
