Educare New Orleans opened its doors in 2013 on the site of the former St. Bernard housing development. Columbia Parc, a comprehensive community model designed by the Bayou District Foundation, is a 685 mixed income residential unit development that spans 18 city blocks in the Gentilly neighborhood.

• Columbia Parc utilizes a “Purpose Built Community Model” of neighborhood transformation that includes Educare New Orleans as the first step in a “cradle to career” educational pathway.
• Their mission is to prevent the achievement gap that takes root between children from low-income families and their middle-income peers long before they enter kindergarten.
• In partnership with the Bayou District Foundation, we provide multi-generational wrap-around services to support parents and caregivers in reaching their personal goals.
