Senate Resolution No. by Senator Selders designates April 13, 2026, as Knock Knock Children's Museum Day at the Louisiana State Capitol, recognizing the museum's significant contributions to early childhood education, family engagement, and the economic vitality of Louisiana. The museum, located in Baton Rouge and supported by state funding, opened in August and has since welcomed over 1.5 million visitors, including families from all 64 parishes in Louisiana and beyond. It focuses on the importance of play in early brain development and offers interactive learning experiences for children from birth to age eight, while also providing programs that serve children with disabilities and those from low-income families.
The resolution commends the museum for its role in enhancing the quality of life in the Capital Region and closing knowledge gaps through its Access for All programs, which benefit over 20,000 children annually. Additionally, the museum supports educators by offering professional development opportunities and serves as a community resource that fosters family connections and prepares young learners for future success. The Senate expresses its appreciation for the museum's mission to inspire lifelong learning and create opportunities for children. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the museum's board chairman and executive director.
