About us
Little House Preschool offers inclusive programs and early intervention support to Bay Area families.
Our programs are: AM Preschool, Play-TK, and After School.
We also offer additional services to support families.
At Little House we meet children where they're at and support their growth by encouraging exploration, facilitating emotional and social growth and by designing individualized interventions that take place naturally and consistently throughout the day.
With a unique ratio of 1 adult per 4 children, and collaboration with our in-house specialists, we support both typically-developing as well as neurodivergent children towards their next exciting step.
We are a paint-splashing, mud-pie baking, apple-picking, potion-mixing kind of place. We combine old-fashioned messy, play-based preschool with evidence-based interventions to help children bloom while learning to be part of a community.
Students enrolled in out Afterschool Program receive a discount and pay a full time fee of $2100 for full time hours (7:45-5:30)
We accept Cocokids subsidy, please inquire

"I feel incredibly blessed to have discovered and have my child attending Little House Preschool. I literally feel like I won the preschool lottery! I searched for the right preschool for my child for 6 months, countless tours, countless disappointments, even in schools that others loved. Yes, I am a perfectionist, but it was all worth the wait. Patricia's school has been amazing from A to Z."

What people say about us
"My toddler and I love LHP. I feel blessed to have stumbled upon this preschool. My toddler is intimidated by large groups and crowds so she loves going to her preschool. She wakes up every morning excited to go. I love Patricia and the staff and their approach to learning."

"Little House Preschool is truly a special place. After trying two other preschools, I can confidently say this is by far the best experience we’ve had. Miss Patricia is an exceptional educator who genuinely cares about every child in her class. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in."
