Kitty and Pat acquired Master Rights for Thailand on 19th Oct 1994, making this country the first International franchise for The Little Gym Inc., USA.  At the time there were not many children developmental programmes in Thailand. Kitty, MA graduate from University of Indiana, Indiana, USA. had seven years experience with Thai Airways International Co., Ltd. in Marketing Research & Planning Department. Pat, MSC. graduate from London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE), London, UK. also had 8 years experience from the same company. Both mothers of two themselves, Kitty and Pat chose The Little Gym because they believed in the programme. The Little Gym philosophy, curriculum and teaching method were ideal for their own children as well as other children in Thailand. Trained by Mr. Robin Wes and Mr. Randy McCoy in Seattle, they opened their first Thailand gym at Sukhumvit 39 in Jun 1995.  Currently there are 5 Little Gyms in Bangkok; Emporium Tower (opened in Mar 2000), Central City Bangna (sub-franchised, Mar 2003), Central Rama 3 (sub-franchised, Oct 2004), Central Chaengwattana  (sub-franchised, Mar 2009) and Tonglor (Opened in Jun 2010).
