Mission and History

Kids of Excellence Learning Center is a non-profit 503 (c)(3) established in July of 2016 by Kristi Reddick- Givens, becoming her second Kids of Excellence early childhood center in New Orleans, La. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of education to young children, to ensure readiness for school for all children by using developmentally appropriate practices, and to invest in the development of the whole child, through cooperation of the school, family, staff, and community.  Kids of Excellence Learning Center implement the appropriate practices established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and promoted by the Louisiana Quality Rating System. 

We believe that all children have the right to high quality care and education that is individualized to meet their unique strengths, interest, and needs. We plan to promote optimal development of all children in our neighborhood. 

Currently, Kids of Excellence Learning Center has a 4 star rating by Quality Rated System administered by the Louisiana Department of Education. As of March 2019, Kids of Excellence is nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)—the world's largest organization working on behalf of young children.
