Dear Picolata Crossing Families,
I would like to warmly welcome you and hope you are looking forward to this opportunity for your children beginning in the 2022-23 school year. I am delighted that you will be a part of the Village Extended Day Before and After School Program at Picolata Crossing Elementary School.
My name is Latifa Almabrouk, and I am the Program Director of the Extended Day program. Here’s a little about me. I am a military spouse, and I have a son who attends middle school in Ponte Vedra. Before becoming a part of the education field, I was in the medical field for 8 years as a Cardiovascular Technologist focusing on intraoperative procedures.
I decided to try something different that would allow me to spend more time with my son. So, I volunteered at my son’s elementary school in Virginia, and I quickly decided I wanted to help children who were having a difficult time reading. I spent some time as an elementary reading Paraprofessional until it was time to relocate. We are a military family, and we have decided to make St. Johns County our final home destination. I have been a part of Village Extended Day Services for more than two years, starting as a counselor and then becoming a Director in July 2019. I have my Child Development Associates Certification (CDA) through the State of Florida and also have my Florida Department of Children and Families Director Credential.
This next year promises to be full of exciting new opportunities for fun, growth and endless learning experiences for your child.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. My contact information is listed below.

We provide energetic environments that are nurturing and filled with a variety of structured activities that provide opportunities for learning, exercise, social development, and FUN! Parents are assured that children are properly supervised and provided with engaging and stimulating experiences with an appropriate balance between homework, exercise, skill development, and social activities. We strive to exceed parent expectations in all aspects and to truly partner together in order to achieve the highest level of success for each child.
We believe that we have a tremendous opportunity to positively impact the lives of children by encouraging team building, friendship skills, volunteerism, and personal growth. Our counselors not only model appropriate social interactions but provide opportunities to promote social functioning and directly teach appropriate ways to interact and handle problems with friends as well as provide a mentor relationship with children. We ensure that children know they are safe, secure, and loved regardless of their behavior on a given day. Our counselors strive to promote friendships among children recognizing that social growth and support will provide a strong foundation for children’s character development and future life skills.
