THE OWNER/DIRECTOR

My name is Robin Conerly Blanchard, and I was born and raised in Paincourtville. I currently reside in Belle Rose with my husband, Tod Blanchard, who hails from Pierre Part. Together, we are the proud parents of six children and have five grandchildren whom we absolutely adore.


I attended St. Elizabeth Catholic School until the 8th grade and graduated from Assumption High School in 1980.


Many people often inquire whether I have experience in childcare or teaching before founding Les Petits Amis Early Learning Center, and the answer is no. Yet, deep down, I felt that this was the right place for me at this stage in my life.


Before becoming the owner of the center, I owned (and still own) a marketing agency. Prior to that, I spent over 35 years in management and sales within the media industry. My journey managing priorities, finances, and staff, fueled by a strong desire to help others, has guided me to this fulfilling path.

What I Bring To Parents and Their Children

As a parent, you can rest assured that I will dedicate 200% and more to nurturing and loving your little ones. My work ethic is firmly grounded in establishing high standards, maximizing efficiencies, and fostering the best possible environments. I genuinely aspire for Les Petits Amis Early Learning Center to be the finest in South Louisiana. Together with an exceptional team of employees, we will provide your child with the chance to:


  • - Learn
  • - Enjoy themselves
  • - Build friendships
  • - Develop self-esteem
  • - Cherish and appreciate the outdoors and nature.
