Our story
A little place for big imaginations.

Made for childhood, since 2014

Little Pickles began with a parent’s wish for a neighborhood store built around children.
Founder Rebecca Rothstein has a dual master’s degree in Early Childhood & Childhood Education and Museum Education from Bank Street Graduate College of Education. A former Pre-K teacher and daycare provider, she brings a deep understanding of how children learn and play.
She first put the idea on paper in 2008. After moving to Red Hook, she returned to that plan and opened Little Pickles in 2014.
