๐ Little Rascals: Where Every Child's Journey Begins in Nassau County
A warm, family-centered daycare in Massapequa that's winning parents' hearts with its personal touch and play-based learning approach.


When it comes to finding the right daycare, parents in Nassau County have been turning to Little Rascals Day Care for good reasons. Located in Massapequa, this center has built its reputation on making each child feel special while helping them grow and learn through play.
The magic happens in small groups, where teachers can really get to know each child. For the tiniest ones - babies from 6 weeks to 12 months - there are never more than six infants in a class, with one teacher for every four babies. They spend their days working on basic skills like reaching and grabbing, while also learning about colors and shapes.
Toddlers between 1-3 years old get their own special space to explore and make friends. They bounce between different activity stations, getting their hands messy with art projects and moving to music. For the older kids (3-5 years), the focus shifts to getting ready for kindergarten, but always through fun activities that match what they're interested in.

Parents can't stop talking about how much they love the place. "I couldn't have asked for a better start for my kids," one parent shared. Another mentioned how all three of their children went there from age one until kindergarten, and they couldn't be happier with their experience.
The center itself feels like a cozy second home, with rooms set up for different types of learning and play. Safety is a top priority - they've got secure entry systems and staff trained in CPR and first aid.
For parents considering Little Rascals, they're open Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Full-time care (5 days) costs $450 per week, with part-time options starting at $115 for one day. They provide meals and snacks for older kids, though parents need to bring supplies for infants.
