Childcare

The LASA2026 Congress will be held on-site in Paris, France, May 26–30, 2026. Aiming to support LASA members participating in this in-person event, LASA is pleased to announce a childcare reimbursement program for participants who use childcare services in Paris during the Congress.

On-site Childcare Reimbursement

LASA will subsidize the cost of childcare for LASA2026 accepted participants who use a childcare service in Paris while actively participating in the Congress as an organizer, chair, discussant, or paper presenter. Childcare provided by family members or relatives is not eligible for reimbursement.

How to Request Reimbursement for Childcare Services in Paris

Choose and use the childcare service in Paris during the Congress dates (May 26–30, 2026). Once you have paid for this service, submit the invoice to LASA for reimbursement.

Reimbursement will be provided at the rate of US $10.00 (€8.50) per hour for one child, and US $12.00 (€10.00) for two or more children, for a maximum of 10 hours. LASA’s maximum responsibility per family will be $100.00 (€85.00) for one child and $120.00 (€101.00) for two or more children. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars ($) and Euros (€).

The parent requesting reimbursement for childcare must be a member of the Association in 2026 with an active role in the LASA2026 Congress. Children must be between 6 months and 12 years of age.

To receive reimbursement, submit the original invoice for the on-site childcare/babysitting service by July 6, 2026 to the LASA Secretariat at lasa@lasaweb.org, including:

• Name(s) of the child(ren)
