Providing intensive, comprehensive and holistic residential care.

On 125 acres in Tangipahoa Parish, Methodist Children’s Home of Southeast Louisiana has gathered the best programs, best practices, and features of what we have developed elsewhere in Louisiana.

Half of Louisiana’s population lives in the parishes within a 75-mile radius of the MCHSELA campus on Hwy 445, four miles north of I-12. Our services are in the middle of the growing New Orleans/Baton Rouge/Northshore Metropolitan area.

The Husser Volunteer Fire Department visited the Methodist Children’s Home of Southeast Louisiana and taught our youth the importance of fire safety in a fun and interactive way!

Opened in 2022, the new Methodist Children’s Home of Southeast Louisiana is our organization’s permanent home and the base of our operations in Southeast Louisiana for our next 100 years of ministry to children and families.

Our Kids Love Us!

Our children are family and they find family in us. See what they have to say about their time in our Children’s Homes.

“MCH was home to me. I lived most of my childhood and teen years there. The warm and loving staff helped me through problems most people gave up on me for.”

K.R.

“[My therapist] showed me that I didn’t have to walk around with the weight of the world on my shoulders anymore and a ticking time bomb. I can honestly say that I’m alive today because of the staff at LMCH.”

A.R.

“I couldn’t ask for a better place. Staff was real friendly and explained everything to me. They keep me updated with progress of my child and as a former resident here I can speak from personal experience that this place really helps you, they give you the tools you need to help you live a normal life again. I would definitely recommend this place”

C.S.

“This place was my home for years, it’s nice to see that they’re still open and helping all the children I spent much my entire teenage life here and it wasn’t easy but this place is where a lot of my good childhood memories come from and I just want to say thanks to that.”
