TUITION ASSISTANCE
LSA, as well as our board, recognize that the cost of quality child care can be out of reach for some families, so much so that sometimes families forego child care altogether. When this happens, everyone loses: the children, their families and entire communities. The development and safety of these children become fragile in ways that affect their vitality and health.
Keeping quality childcare within reach of all families is a core value at LSA, and we want to provide you with information on options that enable families to secure the care they need for their children.
