We’re thrilled to announce the birth of a new concept for kids coming to Prairieville!
Kudos to our own Carmen Austin for representing the landlord in the deal that will bring the first KidStrong studio to the Airline Plaza Shopping Center!
KidStrong is exciting science-based training program that focuses on the mental, physical and character development of kids. Baton Rouge Native Jasmine Carr and her husband got their own kids involved in this amazing program while living in Austin. After seeing the difference in their strength and confidence, they decided to move back home to open their own center.
“Prairieville is where the kids are,” said Carr. And with the influx of new families in the area, she saw the perfect opportunity to bring this concept to a burgeoning community.
