Our mission
Our mission
LSA strives to provide a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where children can have fun, express themselves, and grow as their most authentic selves. Through social-emotional learning, experiential activities, and collaboration with families and JSIS, we honor the whole child, nurture individual interests, and foster positive relationships within our school and broader community.
Latona School Associates (LSA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating the Latona Before and After School Childcare at John Stanford International School.
Program Focus
Program Focus
LSA’s primary focus is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Out-of-school time provides a meaningful opportunity for students to strengthen these skills in a supportive and engaging environment. We place a strong emphasis on outdoor engagement and play, recognizing the important role it serves in children’s overall well-being and development.
With seven separate classrooms, we regularly collaborate across groups, providing opportunities for students to interact and build relationships with peers of different ages. These cross-group experiences foster leadership, mentorship, and a strong sense of community.
Our approach is informed by the Positive Discipline model, which supports students in developing healthy emotional regulation skills, practicing empathy and kindness, cultivating a growth mindset, and contributing positively to their community.
Experiential Learning: LSA incorporates daily, hands-on activities within each group. Projects are thoughtfully designed around students’ interests and emerging curiosities, encouraging creative, collaborative, and theme-based learning experiences that promote exploration and active participation.
