Thea Partners with Study N Play in Baton Rouge, LA

Go Back

Study N PLAY and Thea Study are excited to announce an official partnership for the 2024-2025 school year. Study N PLAY and Thea share a commitment to expanding access to education and are thrilled to be teaming up with each other to bring academic support resources to the greater Baton Rouge area

Education is the key to unlocking opportunities, but for student parents, the journey to academic success often feels like navigating an obstacle course with little support. That’s where Study N PLAY steps in—a beacon of hope and innovation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Now, with the power of Thea Study by its side, Study N PLAY is gearing up to revolutionize the way student parents learn, grow, and achieve their dreams during the 2024-2025 school year. 

In Louisiana, 23% of undergraduates—52,148 students—are parents, including over 24,000 single mothers. 

The stakes are high: research shows single mothers see a staggering 1,052% return on investment over their lifetime after earning an associate's degree. Yet, balancing parenthood and academics is no small feat. The greatest barriers? Time and access to resources. 

That’s where Study N Play comes in. Study N PLAY is Baton Rouge’s first family-friendly study center, built to help student parents succeed. By offering fully equipped workspaces for parents and supervised play areas for children, Study N PLAY ensures that parents can focus on their studies while knowing their children are in good hands. Its members hail from institutions like Louisiana State University, Southern University, and Baton Rouge Community College, creating a thriving community of learners and dreamers.
