The Playhowse Learning Centers are first and foremost a Christian ministry to the communities of Sterlington and West Monroe. In and through the ministry, we will seek to provide quality childcare, as well as teach basic Bible principles. We believe that each child is a special gift from God and needs guidance to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Teach the love of God, love of learning, love of family, and love of self.
To develop the whole child (spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally).
