You’re not just another family—you’re part of our warm and sweet Gingerbread House family, where every day feels like home. Our tenured staff, like Bethany, with 18 years of dedication, and Susan, with 18 years of care (and part of our family!), bring unmatched experience and love to everything they do.

Confidently Ready for Kindergarten & Beyond!

When your child leaves our preschool, they’re not just ready for kindergarten—they’re excited for it! We focus on fun, hands-on learning that builds academic skills, independence, and confidence. From ABCs to social skills, we ensure your little one is ready for the next big adventure!

The Creative Curriculum Encourages Exploration

Let curiosity take the lead! Our Creative Curriculum turns everyday moments into exciting adventures. Kids explore, create, and discover in a world designed to make learning fun. Your kiddo prepares for school with hands-on experiences that inspire big ideas and build confidence.

STEAM Activities Promote Hands-On Learning

Science, tech, art—oh my! Our STEAM activities ignite young minds with exciting projects that teach problem-solving and creativity. From building towers to mixing colorful experiments, kids dive into the fun of discovery while developing real-world skills. It’s messy, magical, and absolutely unforgettable!

Enrichments Foster Well-Rounded Development

From yoga to gardening, music to art, and exciting STEAM activities, our enrichment programs nurture mind, body, and creativity. These hands-on experiences foster well-rounded development, encourage curiosity, and build confidence. It’s learning with a twist of fun—helping kids grow into their best selves every day.

Daily Outdoor Play Builds Gross Motor Skills

Daily outdoor play helps kids build strong bodies and sharp minds. Gated areas with turf, mats, and big play structures keep kids safe as they climb, ride, and explore. Mulch play zones, sandboxes, a basketball court, and paved trike paths spark endless fun. Summer water play and gardening add seasonal joy to age-separated areas made just for them. It’s all play with a purpose—and a ton of giggles, too!

Your Brightwheel^™ Parent App Keeps You Connected

Get a front-row seat to your child’s day! The Brightwheel^™ app connects you with real-time updates, photos, and messages. From snack time to storytime, you’ll never miss a moment. It’s like being there without leaving work—because staying connected should be easy (and fun!).

We create a secure environment for peace of mind with locked, restricted-access doors, internal-use security cameras, and a fully fenced yard. Plus, our CPR-trained staff are always ready, ensuring your little ones are safe, cared for, and free to thrive.

Professional Cleaners & Daily Sanitization for Spotless Spaces

We take cleanliness seriously! Professional cleaners and daily sanitization keep every corner sparkling and germ-free. Our spotless spaces, from playrooms to nap areas, ensure a healthy environment where kids can learn, laugh, and grow because a clean space is a happy place!

Hear What Parents Have To Say...

My 2 grandchildren attend this preschool. I never thought I would see the day that they cry when they have to leave at night. The staff is remarkable and treat the children as their own. If you’re looking for a place for your children or grandchildren, I highly recommend Gingerbread. You couldn’t put your children in better hands.

- Janice S.

Gingerbread is amazing. My son learned SO much being there. The Directors are very attentive and kind. The teachers are of high quality. My son had nothing but kind, caring, loving teachers in every room that he was in. I recommend Gingerbread to all family and friends. It’s nice having peace of mind while you’re working that you have 100% trust in a daycare and its employees.

- Sarah S.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE GINGERBREAD! We have been attending GBH part-time since October 2015. They're all amazing and make my daughter feel special and safe, but they also push her to her greatest potential. Since starting at GBH, my daughter has learned so much and excelled in every area. We will definitely miss them when we move on to kindergarten.

- Sarah D.

I started sending my 3-year-old to Gingerbread a couple of months ago, and it was our best decision. She always says she has a lot of fun and has made some friends that she looks forward to seeing every day. Gingerbread is a great preschool!

- Rose D.

I cannot say enough good things about this daycare. My son loves his class and is thriving. His teachers are so warm and welcoming at every drop-off and pick-up, and there's always open communication. Overall, I am very happy with my experience and the professionalism at this daycare.

- Aliie D.

I can't say enough about this place! We moved to Cranston, and I switched my kids' daycare to another place, and my son lost his excitement and love for going to 'school.' When we started at Gingerbread, I saw his excitement returning after the first day! My daughter is thriving beautifully as well. Thank you, Gingerbread Staff, for loving my babies!

- Ashley W.

Gingerbread is hands down the best daycare for my child. I wish they would open in Cumberland as well. The teachers, the facility, and the smile on my daughter's face when I pick her up make me feel at ease. You guys deserve a 10-star.
