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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

"I can't say enough about this place!"

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!

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.
