At My Little Rascals Child Care, we believe that children create their own meanings to the world around them. Children are born ready and eager to learn and it is our responsibility, as caregivers, to be facilitators of learning and enhance children’s development by creating experiences that are enriching, engaging and enjoyable. At My Little Rascals Child Care, we have developed a program that is child-centered and promotes the growth and development of the child with age-appropriate activities. Our program focuses on helping children develop the necessary skills that will prepare them for their next level. The children here will learn through exploration, discovery, hands-on activities and most importantly-play. Because play is what children do best!

At My Little Rascals Child Care, we have created goals for our program that will guide us in preparing a solid foundation for your child’s future learning. In doing so, we will encourage children to:

• Learn through play
• Develop fine and gross motor skills
• Abide by a routine to promote familiarity and comfort
