Eighty-First Street ECE Early Childhood Center is a unique magnet public school located in Caddo Parish that serves a diversity of preschool to kindergarten students in Shreveport, Louisiana. This is a great school for students who are intellectually strong, but may have struggles in the areas of reading, math and writing due to having a diagnosis of autism or other developmentally delayed conditions. This school also offers general education classes that provide a variety of instructional methods to develop students’ knowledge and capabilities. As the motto states, “We play with a Purpose.” Eighty-First Street ECE has an excellent, tenured, diversely experienced principal named Mrs. Deborah Alexander. She leads a staff of highly qualified, caring professionals who strategically assess, place, teach and address the diverse needs of the student population while providing a rigorous, data driven curriculum, wherein the goals of the Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, are systematically addressed, evaluated and reviewed. At Eighty-First Street ECE Center, the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports, also known as PBIS, in addition to the Class Dojo application, are utilized to maintain a positive school climate and enhance the learning experience. As a certified, tenured veteran educator with a Master’s degree, I am thrilled to work in this haven of educational growth where both students and adults have opportunities to advance towards their personal goals. It is a pleasure to observe the active involvement of students’ parents in the school’s activities. Many parents are previous students at 81st. Street ECE Center and they highly recommend this school to others. The school has 150 students in grades PreK to Kindergarten, with a student-teacher ratio of either 12-1 for special education classes and 20-1 for general education classes. After graduation, 100% of students from this school go on to attend a public or private K-12 school of their choice. Eighty-First Street ECE Center is a proud recipient of the Caddo Parish Public Schools Gains Campus Award for two consecutive years.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. The principal is fantastic. The teachers all truly care about your child and their academic success. There is wonderful parent involvement and we are able to have dances, seasonal functions and field trips. My children have loved it here and it has established a love for learning at a young age. Outstanding experience and highly recommend!
