TrainingGrounds is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located inside the Sojourner Truth Neighborhood Center in New Orleans. Our mission is to increase early childhood outcomes by providing rich learning opportunities for children, parents, caregivers and educators.

A free play space for caregivers and children who currently do not have access to quality early childhood learning centers or experiences. The Center provides low to middle-income families with children from birth to age three with a nurturing and supportive learning environment. During play sessions, parent educators model appropriate adult/child interactions for parents and facilitate learning opportunities for children that stimulate brain development and foster social emotional, language, cognitive and school readiness skills. Through the We PLAY Center, caregivers and children both develop competence and confidence that contribute to the child's success in school and beyond.
