K ‘ nock Knock Children’s Museum Knock Knock Children’s Museum is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit dedicated to interactive, play-based learning for families of all backgrounds. Overlooking BREC’s City-Brooks Community Park, the 26,000-square- foot museum features 18 hands-on “Learning Zones” designed to support early childhood development. These exhibits promote literacy, STEAM education, and 21st-century skills, serving children from birth to age 8, including those in under-resourced communities or with disabilities. Through engaging experiences, Knock Knock helps bridge early learning gaps and foster future career exploration.
Services provided: Learning Zones, Nationally-recognized Programs and Initiatives, Camps, Outreach, Baby Rhyme Time, Messy Masterpieces, Field trips, Sensory-friendly Play 4 All, PlayFit Program, and Events. How do you make it a point to put families first? We put families first by centering children in our decisions, ensuring inclusivity, and fostering learning through play. We prioritize trust-based relationships, cultural diversity, and responsive interactions that support all areas of early development. Committed to excellence, we collaborate with organizations that invest in young children for a stronger community.
What’s next for the museum? Water is all around us and it is
great for play! We look forward to new opportunities to contribute to community-wide education and increased awareness about stemming litter and protecting our watershed like the soon-to-be restored LSU Lakes in our front yard and expanding offerings in our Big Back Yard. We also look forward to opportunities to partner with organizations already doing great work in improving the health and wellness of families with young children through education about healthier living and continuing to build and strengthen our community.
