Due to #HurricaneIda, McMains Children's Developmental Center will be closed on Monday, August 28.

We're so thankful to be back in the Center today!

Looks like we're in for a little more rain today, but we're thinking about sunnier days in our #TherapyGarden! We hope everyone stays safe!

A big "Thank You" to our friends at Sports Baton Rouge for their generous donation towards the next phase of our playground construction! Every dollar counts. Visit our website to donate towards our mission to help every child live as independent a life as possible.

Have you ever heard of the proprioceptive system? Well, if you haven't, Christina, one of our Occupational Therapists, wrote a blog all about it. Check it out on our website! ow.ly/yx2T50GdOLI

Today is the first day of fall and WE. ARE. READY. The kids made fall-themed sensory buckets and created art to develop fine motor skills to get ready for the cooler weather! #FallYall #OT

Yesterday, we were recognized as one of the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report Best Places to Work. We are so proud of the work of our therapists and staff!

We had a donor make a match pledge of $10,000 and we were able to reach that full match last week. Thank you so much to everyone who donated! We couldn't do it without you!

Jonah had a cheering section as he rounded the corner on his new Wheels to Succeed bike! That's number 181 gifted since 2007. Congrats Jonah!

Due to the impending inclement weather, McMains Children's Developmental Center is closing at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 10/27. We hope everyone stays safe!

Our Halloween theme this year was construction work! We're working together to build brighter futures.

Last week, we received a Project Grant Award from Capital Area United Way. The grant will help us continue the updates to our playground. Thank you to CAUW and all of our partners!

Over the course of two Fridays, our friends from Exxon helped us clean up our garden, pressure wash our sidewalks, and add mulch to our therapy garden boxes. Thank you so much for volunteering!

Bike #184 went to Bella! She was so surprised. Just look at that smile! She outgrew her last bike which will be refurbished and gifted to another child through our #WheelsToSucceed program.

WOW! Thank you so much for helping us raise $41,434 on Giving Tuesday! We met our goal!!! Our donors help us grow!

Our friends at W. R. Grace presented a check to the Center earlier today. We can't do what we do without the support of our donors! Thank you W. R. Grace! Join us next year for their 2022 golf tournament.

We love our partnership with Knock Knock Children's Museum working to make sure all kids can play. Carter and his mom had a great trip to the museum! Make sure you ask about the ability bags and adaptations to the Learning Zones when you visit the museum!

It's a festive time at the Center! Last week, we were able to have our annual holiday party thanks to our friends at Al Azar Grotto. The kids had a great time playing games, making reindeer food, and visiting with Santa, but the staff may have had even more fun!
