Dear Parents,
Welcome to The House of Little People, a private, pre-school, early childhood development
professional environment in the center of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In our 35 plus years
of Upper East Side experience, we continue to offer busy working families a safe, secure, and
proven early childhood developmental model to achieve the best support role for your young pre
kindergarten child.
Our main aim and goal is to ensure that your child receives the “individual”
attention and learning guidance to reach their best developmental level while you are working at
your profession during the busy work week. THOLP is managed and administered by a
professionally certified team of highly skilled experts in identifying and nurturing the special,
wonderful, trusting qualities of each and every individual child. The miracle of a child’s curiosity
combined with our attentive and skillful teaching resources, tools, and systems is tuned in to
reaching the inside energy and helping your child to develop to their optimum level both socially
and intellectually.
You are critical to our process, and we place enormous importance on regular communication
and teaming with you as your daytime resource when you are busy at work. Feel secure, safe,
and able to focus on your full time profession without concern. Through our extensive joint review
and admission process, together we develop a “learning roadmap” for your child. This includes a
range of educational, psychological, intellectual, and social activities specifically designed to
adapt your child to social and interactive environments with other children and adults. Each child
is unique and that is why we take great pride at THOLP in our proven ability to “individualize” our
learning environment for each individual child’s personality at their own pace.
Together with you, we become your extended resource in a family community. Your child will be
able to grow and adapt to social settings in a loving, friendly, warm, and welcoming set of
environments and be able to naturally exhibit important values such as respect for others,
responsibility, and accountability, while at the same time have a great deal of fun and make
friends. This web site may be your first introduction to THOLP, and we look forward to helping
you through the very important life decision of building the proper developmental program for
each of your pre school children.
We hope to spend regular quality time with each and every one of you.
Warm regards,
Barbara Robinson
