About KHOL (Kids House of Learning)

KHOL is more than just a center — it’s a place where childhood is embraced, where every laugh, every spark of curiosity, and every moment of growth is celebrated. Since we opened our doors in 2000, KHOL has become a trusted space for families across New Orleans — a place where children are nurtured, supported, and truly loved.
What makes KHOL special is our team. This staff is the heartbeat of everything we do. They come in each day with open arms, open minds, and a deep love for the children they serve. I’ve watched them kneel to meet a child eye-to-eye, sing songs that bring smiles, and patiently guide little learners toward big breakthroughs. The consistency, the kindness, the care — it’s present in every classroom and every interaction.
From six weeks old through Pre-K, children here are met with gentle structure, joyful routines, and engaging learning experiences. The environment is safe, colorful, and full of discovery, where questions are encouraged and confidence is built daily.
At KHOL, we don’t just focus on school readiness. We focus on life readiness. With every hug, every lesson, and every connection made, we’re helping children grow into who they’re meant to be — strong, curious, kind, and ready for the world.

Meet Our Founder & Director

Ms. Shirley Funches

Founder & Program Director

With a passion for early childhood education and over two decades of leadership, Ms. Shirley founded Kids House of Learning in 2000 after transforming a former furniture store into a space of joy and discovery. Her vision has impacted hundreds of children across generations. Known as “Ms. Shirley” to all the kids and families, she continues to lead with compassion, consistency, and community pride.

Our Legacy & Impact

We’ve served hundreds of families since 2000 — and some of our former students are now parents bringing their own children to the center. It’s a beautiful reminder that when you pour into a child’s life, it echoes across generations.
