Tigers & Tots Indoor Playground
About Us
The Tigers & Tots Indoor Playground at LSU Health New Orleans, School of Allied Health Professions’ Child & Family Counseling Clinic is a vibrant, inclusive space where learning, play, and therapeutic growth come together. Designed to support the developmental and emotional needs of young children, the playground offers a free, welcoming environment for families with children ages 3 and under. Here, children engage in unstructured play and benefit from hands-on access to developmental screenings, assessments, parenting education, and support. The playground also serves as a valuable training ground for our students, who gain supervised, real-world experience that promotes cognitive and physical development, social-emotional learning, and family connection. At Tigers & Tots, we believe in the power of play to inspire healing, build resilience, and nurture the next generation of mental health professionals.Mission Statement
Our mission is to enrich the lives of young children and their families by creating a welcoming, child-friendly space that promotes development through the power of play. Through hands-on learning experiences and guided engagement by faculty, staff, and students, we support children’s social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and developmental growth. We are committed to early identification of developmental needs through comprehensive screenings and to connecting families with the resources and referrals they need to thrive.
