Childcare

The LASA2027 Congress will be held on-site in Mexico, June 16–20, 2027. 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 Mexico during the Congress.

Reimbursement

LASA will subsidize the cost of childcare for LASA2027 accepted participants who use a childcare service in Mexico 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.

Reimbursement will be provided at a rate of US $10.00 per hour (MX$170.30) for one child and US $12.00 per hour (MX$204.36) for two or more children, for a maximum of 10 hours. LASA’s maximum responsibility per family will be US $100.00 (MX$1,703.00) for one child and US $120.00 (MX$2,043.60) for two or more children. All prices are listed in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos.

How to Request Reimbursement

Choose and use the childcare service in Mexico during the Congress dates (June 16–20, 2027). Once you have paid for this service, submit the receipt to LASA for reimbursement.

To receive reimbursement, submit the original receipt for the on-site childcare/babysitting service by July 6, 2027, to the LASA Secretariat at lasa@lasaweb.org, including:

• Name(s) of the child(ren)
• Dates and hours of service
• Proof of payment

Eligibility

The parent requesting childcare reimbursement must be a current LASA member for 2027 and have an active role in LASA2027 (e.g., organizer, chair, discussant, or presenter).

Children must be between 6 months and 12 years of age at the time of the Congress.
