Our story

Little hands, big hearts, since 1991.

For over 30 years, we've been that small, homelike neighborhood program where children are genuinely known, loved, and free to be themselves.

A small program with a big heart, for 30+ years.

The same warm, homelike childcare Salt Lake City families have trusted since 1991 — small groups, personal care, and a genuine love for early childhood.

Today, that same spirit lives in every room. From the garden children help tend to the educators who know every child by name, Little Rascals is as personal and purposeful as it was the day it opened.

03

Nurture every child

Whole-child care: emotional, social, physical, and cognitive — all of it, every day.

04

Homelike & personal

Small groups, familiar faces, and a backyard garden that feels like an extension of home.

Partnership with families

We're an extension of your home, in constant communication and genuine partnership.

Licensed, inspected, and CPR-trained — so you can breathe easy all day.

My son has grown so much here — more confident, more curious, more himself. The teachers truly know and love him.

We toured several centers. Little Rascals was the only one that felt calm, warm, and personal — like they actually knew us.
