Intent � :
At Little Rascals, we actively promote inclusive practice in order to best meet the needs of the children, families and staff of our care. All children are welcome to attend Little Rascals regardless of ability, need, background, culture, religion, gender or economic circumstances. Through inclusive practice, we aim to reflect our wider community and promote positive attitudes to both the similarities and differences in each other. In order to achieve this, we actively engage with children, parents and other organizations as appropriate. Admissions �:
In order to provide an open and accessible service for all children and families, admissions are accepted on a first come first served basis. Valuing Diversity in Families �:
Key Workers regularly engage with parents to facilitate information sharing and to ensure parents are involved in planning for their child’s learning and development. Information sharing between staff and parents ensures a partnership approach which happens in the form of daily communications as well as scheduled meetings as required. Staff, children and parents work together to ensure that food served in our service meets the medical, cultural and dietary needs of each child. Parents and children are encouraged to contribute to various aspects of our service for example providing information or resources illustrating aspects of their lives, culture or community. FAQ:

*Rest time is a routine children gently learn over time.*
Not every child falls asleep right away, and not every child rests in the same way.
We create a calm environment with soft lighting, quiet music, books, comfort items, and consistent routines to help children slow down and recharge.

Message us if rest time is one of your childcare questions.

One thing we are intentional about at Little Rascals is creating an environment where children feel safe enough to explore, ask questions, make choices, and learn through play.
Our routines, learning spaces, activities, and interactions are designed with children’s development and well-being in mind. One of my favorite routines is before meal prayer, even our babies/toddlers know the routine and how we are thankful for our food!

A hard goodbye does not always mean a hard day.
Children can feel sad when a parent leaves and still go on to feel safe, loved, supported, and engaged in their classroom.
Some children begin the day excited. Others may feel shy, tearful, tired, or unsure.
All of these feelings are normal.
Save this post if your child is preparing to start care. 💛
