A NOTE FROM THE LSA EXEUTIVE DIRECTOR:
As Seattle Public Schools and John Stanford International School plan their reopening, I wanted to confirm that LSA will be here, providing childcare for the JSIS community in the 2020-2021 school year. LSA has provided this service for over 30 years, and while we have endured some difficult transitions, none have been quite as uniquely challenging as this. To provide full-day childcare service to supplement JSIS remote learning results in us transforming our entire program structure. While we navigate this transition, the thing that I want you to know is that LSA will continue to do our very best to provide excellent, community-oriented childcare service delivered by our exceptional LSA Staff. We hope that the consistency and familiarity of LSA and it's staff can provide some semblance of normalcy to students as they return to school.
Unfortunately it is not safe to resume normal operations, and we must begin our enrollment process again under the new model of operation. Due to expanded service hours and new safety considerations we will not be able to operate at our previous capacity. If you completed an enrollment form prior to 8/1/20, it is negated, and you will be invited to enroll again once we establish our program capacity. Please know that we do our absolute best to accommodate all those that need childcare in the JSIS community, but cannot sacrifice the quality of the program or the safety of our students and staff.
Over the coming weeks, we will be gearing up for expanded hours, securing necessary space within the building, coordinating services and schedules with JSIS, and (above all else) making sure that we can operate safely. Program details and capacity are still in development, but the respective administrations of LSA and JSIS are working diligently to develop a program that meets the childcare of the community while keeping everyone safe.
Stay tuned, and thank you for your continued support.
