Gingerbread House Preschool has a warm, caring, and experienced professional staff. The teachers were chosen for their educational training, early childhood teaching experience, and their patience, sensitivity, and understanding of how young children learn. All classes use team teaching with two teachers in each classroom of 12 students.
The curriculum is sent home to parents each month, informing them about academic activities and special events. The curriculum is developmentally and age appropriate and includes reading, math, science, art, music, physical education, and social development. We equip each child with the skills to perform to his fullest potential.

For me, early childhood education is more than a career, it is a calling. I believe that the preschool years are the most important years in a person's educational life. A high quality preschool education, like the one provided at Gingerbread House, is more important than a high quality college education, because without the former, the latter is less likely to happen.
Gingerbread House Preschool is located in the heart of Zionsville, Indiana. Zionsville is a prosperous town with a population of approximately 30,000 people, a suburb at the northwest corner of Indianapolis. It has a highly educated population with one of the best public school systems in the state.
The Gingerbread House Preschool is located in Zionsville, the safest city in Indiana, according to a recent studies by ValuePenguin and a 2021 report by SafeWise. The 2015 Safewise report also states that Not only do (Zionsville residents) call Indiana's safest city home, they're also members of one of the state's most highly educated communities.
The Staff of the Gingerbread House welcomes you and your family. The day your child enters our Early Childhood Program, we share in the responsibility for his/her mental, social, physical and emotional development. It is important to us that your child's first school experience be positive and rewarding.
My daughter attended Gingerbread for two years and it was a wonderful experience. She loved the teachers and the school and she was always excited to attend. The school felt familiar and like a community and we will miss it as she moves onto kindergarten. I feel that Gingerbread has well prepared her for school academically and even more so socially and emotionally.

A kind, loving, and fun learning environment. I was recommended the Gingerbread Preschool through a couple of friends. 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!

What a gem of a school! My daughter attended for two years - preschool and pre-kindergarten. I could not be more pleased that we chose Gingerbread. The teachers and staff are truly wonderful people and it's clear that they genuinely care about each of their students. From guests coming in to speak to the kids (firefighters, doctors, dentists, etc. in the community) to the outstanding curriculum (cooking with the kids!), it's apparent the teachers have put so much heart and soul into providing an enriching and FUN school atmosphere where each kid can thrive. I am sad my daughter has aged out of

Our three daughters have attended preschool at Gingerbread House over the last eight years, and each one of them has had an incredible experience. We love the small class sizes and the old-school style (scissors, glue, glitter, paint, etc. - no computers; letting kids be kids!). The teachers provide an interesting and creative curriculum, and are not only striving to help your child grow academically, but personally as well. They place emphasis on building self-confidence and independence, along with teaching manners and kindness. Our youngest just graduated from the Jr. Kindergarten program and

Love the Gingerbread House Preschool. Both our kids enjoyed going to school there each day and they were well prepared -- socially, emotionally, academically -- for the transition to kindergarten. The staff are experienced and kind, and it's just obvious that they truly care about the kids. This place is the way you imagine a preschool should be.

My daughter just finished her junior kindergarten year at Gingerbread House Preschool. It was a wonderful year! The small student:teacher ratio allowed the teachers to get to know all the children so well and to do a lot of one on one learning activities with each child. Every week our house was filled with awesome artwork.
The staff recognizes that every child develops at his or her own pace and they have developed a great, age/developmentally appropriate preschool curriculum. We enjoyed watching our daughter gain social confidence, make lots of new friends, master her letters and numbers, and

My second child just finished her last year at Gingerbread and we've had a great experience there for over three years! My son was more than prepared for Kindergarten, as is my daughter now. They have a wonderful play/academic mix, as well as fun and creative art projects. The teacher ratio is great and most importantly my children loved attending. They were disappointed when it wasn't a school day! We loved the staff and the flexible options for classes. Highly recommend!

Gingerbread house is an amazing preschool program! The teachers are not only highly qualified and experienced, they are also caring and patient with the little ones in their care. My three children had a fantastic experience there over the last five years. They have a play based learning philosophy (no worksheets!) and a terrific 1:6 teacher:student ratio. I will miss the school and the staff now that the kids are in elementary school.

Both of my boys have attended Gingerbread House Preschool and loved it. There is a great mix of learning and fun. The school is small and sweet, a great place for little ones to get their first experience in an educational setting. My boys were both ready for Kindergarten, socially and academically. I would highly recommend it!

When relocating to the area a few months into the school year we found Gingerbread House and I was amazed at how quickly and easily our daughter adjusted to the new class and teachers. The teachers did a wonderful job of providing a nurturing environment for the kids while ensuring they grew to be prepared for Kindergarden - and beyond! Our child loved the time she had and the friends she made. We are lucky to have found Gingerbread House and look forward to our younger daughter also attending in a couple of years!
