Say goodbye to screen interruptions.
Say hello to present, connected parenting and grandparenting for a new generation.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana!
It’s time to rethink what play can be.
Welcome to the ultimate family experience for crawlers, climbers, and runners who want to do it all.
Designed for families with children from birth to age 7, our athletic play and creative arts classes build foundational sports skills, focus, coordination, confidence, and imagination, all in a high-energy, dynamic environment.
At The Perch, families learn side by side, growing stronger, bolder, and more creative together in a fully present, screen-free space.
We are multi-generational. This is where children, parents, and grandparents move, play, and create together.
You were called to do mighty things in parenting and grandparenting, and the world needs who you were made to be. You were never meant to do it alone.
Join us at The Perch, where you can grow into the parent or grandparent you want to be while building meaningful, screen-free memories that last far beyond childhood.
At The Perch, we are more than a class.
We are restoring connection.
We are strengthening families.
We are shaping the next generation.
Families that play together, stay together.
The greatest gift you can give your children and grandchildren is your time. Fully present and screen free, you’re saying, “I love you.” Unplugged moments together is where family legacy begins.
— Founder, Michelle Dickerhoof

Each class includes multi-sport athletic play, faith-filled story time, and hands-on creative arts, creating a multi-generational space for kids, parents, and grandparents to imagine, create, and grow together.
Every week brings a brand new adventure! Families stay active, build confidence, spark creativity, make new friends, and discover new interests in a joyful, faith-filled environment.
