Look into the RPR. Chassis rifle for around 500.00. they have a lot of after market parts on line when your ready to up grade.
I looked at those, but I dismissed them because the stock LoP was long and the stock looked like a pain to change.
Is it easier than it looks?

I like the idea of a manually actuated action and a magazine that can't be lost. So single shots and tube fed get my vote. My plan in the next year or two is to buy an extra Henry H001 and an extra buttstock to chop down. then I can have a reduced LOP, iron sights, and the ability to mount an optic all in one platform. Then as they get older, I can add spacers until they fit the unmodified stock.
And its cowboy cool. A matching Ruger wrangler and a sweet gunbelt is gonna be a requirement as well.
Which means that if my kid has that, then I'll have to get me a set of single six 6.5 and 4.6" convertibles and a gunbelt for me as well.
Man I can't wait to have kids.

I did see a guy that cut a stock down, but in increments, and he added magnets to each segment to be able to customize for his different sized kids. Pretty ingenious, but I'm not that handy.
I used my grandfathers Gill gun and it was not cut down.
I did have to cut the stock on a model 60 .22 for my kids. No biggie.
It got them to be able to hold and shoot.
Lots of slip on pads around to make it longer.
It's a tool and modifying it to make it work for the user is not an issue for me.
I shot it cut off and still hit what I was aiming at.

How short do you want the LoP. If your kids are that small I would look into the single shot rifles.

Well, if I'm measuring right, her LoP is 9.5".
Having her hold her hand like it's gripping a pistol, bend her elbow 90° from her upper arm, measure from inside of elbow to inside of trigger finger.

The only thing I would say at this point is custom built stock. you could use a short ar buffer tube and a clap on stock to it. that should get you there with some room to grow. Other than that I would look into the rascal rifle or a custom build. for the money I would lean toward that rascal. That way when they get older they can go pick out something. at least have more options to choose from.
Grumpy took the surrogate grandkids (11 and 12) out with S&W 15-22. We are gonna have to buy a LOT more .22 ... Lol It has an adjustable stock, which was perfect cuz the 12 yo has monkey arms ... And his brother has T.Red baby arms ... Lol
M&P15-22. Adjustable stock, accurate, AR compatibility makes upgrades easy, pic rail for easy scope mounting.
