Why should you support McMains Children’s Developmental Center?
In order to keep our center operational we require support.
We are a non-profit agency that relies on funding from the United Way, fees for services, and donations from individuals and businesses.
Our services help children function as independently as they can. Our vision is to meet children where they are and take them where no one thought they could go.

Recycle for McMains!
Old cell phones, used inkjet cartridges, PDA’s and Laptops who knew that electronic waste could be such a profitable and easy fundraiser?
As Baton Rouge’s United Cerebral Palsy affiliate, we have a collection box here at the Center from B.C.S. Recycling Specialists for these recycled items. B.C.S. pays the UCP National office $2.50 each for Lexmark & HP empty inkjet cartridges and cell phones, and $10 for laptop computers. Twenty-five percent of the earnings will stay with UCP National while 75% will be sent back to us! If you work at a large company and would prefer having your own collection box, we can arrange for this.
So instead of throwing your old cell phones, inkjet cartridges, PDA”s and laptops away, please bring them to the Center and help raise funds for local children. Thank you for your support!

Step Up for McMains
McMains Children¹s Developmental Center is now offering special one-of-a-kind stepping stones. The stepping stones will be made out of stained glass and hand crafted by Cherie Livingston, secretary at the Center. You can purchase or sponsor a stone for $100 each.
The stepping stones come in many designs. A marker will be
