About the Provider

Description: Ginger Bread House offers home-like, quality child care services. But that's not all. Because we believe that children grow at different rates and in different ways, our educational and recreational programs aim to provide a variety of stimuli to enhance that growth and development. To facilitate a child's transition from the family circle into the large social circle, and to provide an enjoyable introduction into the educational learning process - these are our goals. And to do it all with concern and caring - that's the key that makes it all work!
