ABOUT US

THE OWNER/DIRECTOR

My name is Robin Conerly Blanchard.  I was born and raised in Paincourtville.  Currently live in Belle Rose with my husband, Tod Blanchard who was born and raised in Pierre Part.

Together we have six children and 5 grandchildren (which we adore). 


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


Many people ask me if I have worked in childcare or teaching prior to Les Petits Amis Early Learning Center and the answer is no.  However I just knew in my heart and mind that this was the place at this time in my life that I was needed.


Prior to becoming the owner of the center I owned (and still own) a marketing agency.  Before that I was in management and sales in the media industry for over 35 years.  Managing priorities, finances, and employees with a very strong desire to help others has led me to this place. 

What I Bring To Parents and Their Children

As a parent you can be assured that I will give 200% and more to caring and loving your babies. 

My work ethic is very deeply rooted in creating high standards, efficiencies and the best environments.  I truly want Les Petits Amis Early Learning Center to be the BEST in South Louisiana.  Together with a great team of employees we will give your little one the opportunity to:


  • Learn
  • Have fun
  • Make friends
  • Feel good about themselves
  • Love  and enjoy the outdoors and nature
