Safe Places Afterschool Program (SPAP)

A Fun, Safe, and Enriching After-School Experience for Young Learners

LTI’s Safe Places Afterschool Program (SPAP) provides elementary school students (K–6) in the Roslyn Union Free School District (UFSD) with a safe, structured, and engaging after-school environment. Designed to support both academic success and social-emotional development, SPAP ensures that children have a nurturing space where they can learn, play, and grow.

Our program goes beyond after-school supervision - we create opportunities for students to develop essential life skills, build confidence, and foster a love for learning through hands-on activities and interactive experiences.
