Why Families Choose Gingerbread House
Small Classes and Two Teachers
Every classroom has two teachers, allowing us to provide the individual attention, encouragement, and careful supervision that young children need.
12 students + 2 teachers = 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio
2-year-old classes: 6 students + 2 teachers = 3:1 ratio
Highly Educated, Experienced Teachers
All of our teachers have bachelor's degrees, most in education, and several have master's degrees. Our experienced teachers understand how young children learn and develop and take the time to know each child as an individual.
Learning Should Be Fun
Young children learn best when they are interested, engaged, and enjoying themselves. At Gingerbread House, learning takes place through play, exploration, discovery, conversation, creativity, and hands-on experiences.
Our teachers nurture the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of every child while encouraging curiosity, confidence, kindness, independence, and a love of learning.
A Well-Rounded Preschool Education
Our program introduces children to early reading and writing skills, mathematics, science, art, music, cooking, and movement, while providing abundant opportunities for imaginative play, friendship, cooperation, and social development.

A Preschool Where Every Child Is Known
Small classes make a difference.
With two teachers in every classroom, our teachers have time to observe each child's development, recognize individual strengths and needs, answer questions, encourage curiosity, and provide personal attention throughout the school day.
Children are not simply members of a class. They are known, valued, and encouraged as individuals.
A Safe, Nurturing Place to Learn and Grow
Providing a safe, welcoming environment is fundamental to everything we do. Gingerbread House combines close teacher supervision with carefully considered health, safety, and security practices.

“A kind, loving, and fun learning environment. I toured several preschools and ended up falling in love with this one. Small class sizes, excellent teachers, fantastic program director, and a wonderful learning environment! My daughter truly excelled, and most importantly loved going to school! I highly recommend this preschool. They come out of this preschool truly ready for kindergarten!”
