ACCESS
Many ways to enter
A child may touch, watch, move, communicate, join briefly, repeat or return later. Participation does not need one visible form.
VARIED ROUTES
Access begins with the environment
The app frames participation broadly and encourages adults to adapt spaces, materials and pace while discussing individual needs through authorised service channels.
DESIGN
Adjust the environment
Offer stable seating, clear routes, reachable materials, comfortable sound and a quiet retreat before expecting a person to adapt.
COMMUNICATION
Home language belongs
Adults can use familiar words, gesture, visual demonstration and patient wait time without treating English fluency as readiness.
MIXED AGES
Mixed ages need different routes
Separate mouthing-safe infant materials, active movement, detailed construction and calm spaces while preserving shared connection.
AGENCY
Consent in ordinary moments
Ask before joining, touching work, photographing or changing a child's material arrangement. The app itself provides no camera or upload function.
BOUNDARY
Support is specific
Families should discuss access, allergy, communication and care needs directly with the service using its authorised processes.
Designed to reduce digital pressure
Little Field Atlas has no child profiles, points, streaks, leaderboards, public sharing, targeted advertising or prompts designed to maximise time in the app. Success means the screen becomes unnecessary.
