Child Development Program (CDP) began in the mid-1970s as a small, Mommy and Me program. Today, we are a kindergarten-ready preschool and infant nursery in uptown New Orleans, serving families with various childcare needs.
As the needs of families has changed, so have our programs. We offer convenient schedule options to accommodate all types of family situations. Full-time, part-time, full-day, and half-day options are available for every age and every stage of development.
At CDP, we truly strive to be a school community and extended family for our students. Teachers and staff get to know each child as an individual and each family unit on a personal basis. Community gatherings and family-friendly events are encouraged throughout the year so that friendships and a lifelong sense of belonging is developed alongside the cognitive, emotional, and creative development of our students.

SOUL (Sustaining Our Urban Landscape) is driving a resilient and environmentally equitable New Orleans by reforesting our urban landscape.
WHAT MAKES SOUL UNIQUE?
- We plant trees to serve as natural systems and infrastructure. We plant in clusters to better stave off flooding, reduce pollution, improve community health, and provide beauty and shade.
- We plant trees together with community members who drive the reforestation of their own community or neighborhood. SOUL trains block captains to canvass their neighborhoods and collect permits from homeowners.
- We oversee the planting of every tree and help ensure its successful growth. We provide tree guards for every tree to protect against weed-eater damage, the number one killer of trees.
- We map every tree we plant so that we can keep track of its progress.
- We also provide maintenance guidelines to every home/business that receives trees, and are always available to answer questions.
