Philosophy

LSA goal is to foster a positive self-concept and develop socialization and school readiness skills. Various experiences, geared to children’s age group and the individual needs of each child, are provided. Because learning is a life-long process for children and adults, it is necessary to make continued improvements. The program and staff will be evaluated on a regular basis.
