A Celebration of Growth, Joy, and Community
Every fall, our courtyard fills with laughter, music, and the spirit of New Orleans. Fall Fest is our annual tradition — a joyful celebration of learning, family, and community that could only happen here.
On October 4, 2025, more than 200 guests joined us — including current families, alumni, supporters, and prospective families — for a day that marked an especially meaningful milestone: the opening of our new hybrid classrooms.
What began as a ribbon cutting turned into a full day of joy, dancing, and gratitude — a reflection of everything that makes Early Partners and our city so special.
The morning began with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony celebrating the opening of our new hybrid classrooms — designed to blend indoor and outdoor learning, foster creativity, and serve even more children and families.
We were honored to welcome: City Councilmember Lesli Harris, State Senator Royce Duplessis, State Representative Matthew Willard, EP Board Member Walt Leger, and EP Supporter Tania Hahn.
Their partnership — along with the support of our families, staff, and community — made this milestone possible. These classrooms are more than new spaces; they’re an investment in the future of New Orleans, ensuring every child has access to high-quality early learning.
Pure New Orleans Magic
After the ribbon was cut, the celebration truly began.
Robin Barnes & The Grateful Dads filled the courtyard with music, joy, and the unmistakable rhythm of New Orleans. Families danced, children played, and our community came together to celebrate what we’ve built — and what’s to come.
This day reminded us that Early Partners couldn’t exist anywhere else. Our work — and our joy — are deeply rooted in the culture, diversity, and heart of New Orleans.
This is the coolest school EVER.
