Play-based learning for ages 18 months–5 years
A preschool where your child is truly known — and you feel at home too.
At Pillar, we understand that supporting your work also means supporting your family. That’s why we are thrilled to introduce our licensed onsite pre-school at our Lafayette office. We’ve created a space where you can focus on your tasks while knowing that your child is in a safe and engaging environment.
Pillar Kids is a preschool, inside Lafayette’s Pillar community hub. Coworking is included free with enrollment.
I started Pillar with the belief that children deserve more than just care—they deserve a space for them to truly play, grow, and be happy. At Pillar, we celebrate every child’s unique and special nature. We are dedicated to supporting working parents by building a real, nurturing community.
That’s what we’ve built here. And we’d love for your family to be a part of it.

What makes Pillar Kids special?
Pillar Kids is more than childcare. It’s a community — one where children feel safe enough to take risks, curious enough to ask questions, and loved enough to be exactly who they are.
We keep our class sizes intentionally small so every child gets genuine attention, not just supervision. Our teachers don’t just watch — they notice. They remember that [child’s name] loves dinosaurs, that she needs a moment to warm up in the morning, that he lights up when the blocks come out.
That kind of knowing takes time and attention. Our low educator-to-child ratios make it possible every single day.
The Pillar difference
Unlike most drop-off preschools, Pillar Kids offers a unique option. While using our coworking space is completely optional, it’s a benefit we highly encourage our families to take advantage of.
Our preschool lives inside the Pillar coworking hub — which means you can drop your child off, walk down the hall, and be at your desk in minutes. No commute. No guilt. No wondering how the morning is going.
Every Pillar Kids enrollment includes a free parent coworking membership during school hours. Work when your child is learning. Be close when it matters. That’s the Pillar model — and there’s nothing else quite like it in Lafayette.

Preschool curriculum & environment
We follow a play-based, emergent curriculum — which means we start with your child. Our teachers are keen observers: they watch how children play, what sparks their interest, and where they’re ready to grow. Then they design experiences that meet each child exactly where they are.
Children at Pillar Kids explore a range of rich learning areas every day:
- Art for self-expression through painting, drawing, and crafts
- Blocks and construction for spatial reasoning and problem-solving
- Dramatic play to build imagination and social skills
- Music and movement for rhythm, coordination, and joyful expression
- Literacy and language for early reading and storytelling
- Math and science through hands-on exploration of patterns, counting, and the natural world
Learning at Pillar Kids isn’t just about academic readiness — it’s about building the whole child. Through play, children develop confidence, curiosity, empathy, and the social skills that set them up for success in school and in life.
