Guardian consent
Group participation, mentor interaction, media uploads, and data use require clear, revocable consent.
FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
Participate in support without turning it into surveillance.
Guardians are essential to child safety and the growth environment. Little Spark supports informed consent, appropriate visibility into trends and risks, and a practice of noticing more while judging less.
THE GUARDIAN ROLE
Know what is necessary while respecting the space a child needs to keep.
A minor cannot join without guardian participation, but participation does not mean reading every expression at any time.
Participation trends
Understand project progress, participation, and necessary reminders without inspecting every word a child shares.
Practice noticing
Receive optional guidance: correct less, listen more, and notice effort and feelings specifically.
Environment support
Identify support across family, teachers, peers, coaches, and interest communities.
Risk communication
Mentors and supervisors escalate safety concerns through a human plan, contacting guardians or professionals when needed.
LAYERED PRIVACY
A child's trust is not a default permission in the guardian interface.
Guardians can see
Consent status, project participation trends, growth evidence shared with guardians, mentor guidance, and safety risks that must be communicated.
Not shown by default
Expressions kept private or mentor-only, other children's data, internal mentor notes, and staff coordination that family roles do not need to access.
Understand the model, then decide together with your child.
An application does not create automatic admission. The operations team reviews family needs, child willingness, guardian consent, and group fit with people involved.
