What Parents Say
Gingerbread House has highly polarized reviews. Most parents praise the staff's care, curriculum quality, and developmental support (potty training, academics), with children showing strong progress. However, serious concerns have been raised about communication failures, incident reporting inaccuracy, staff rudeness, inadequate supervision, and inappropriate child restraint practices.
10/10 childcare! Never once felt uncomfortable with any of the teacher or staff! They have always been attentive and professional! Have already had two of my family members attend this preschool and BOTH of them have excelled in schooling since! GBH is a great preschool and loves their students and families!
This facility deserves zero stars. The lack of communication and apparent disregard for parental rights is unacceptable. On multiple occasions, my legally adopted son was either sent home or experienced incidents without my direct notification. Instead of contacting me, the facility repeatedly contacted an emergency contact listed, even to inform her of my son's removal from the program. When I inquired about this protocol, a staff member stated she "did not know" why I wasn't the primary point of contact. The most egregious incident involved my son being injured due to a teacher's inappropriate action. He was placed on a shelf as a response to a behavioral issue, subsequently fell backward, and scratched his back. Astonishingly, I was not informed directly. Instead, someone on my pick-up list was asked to sign an incident report. This report inaccurately stated that my son "fell and scratched his back," omitting the crucial detail that a teacher had placed him on the shelf, directly causing the fall. These repeated failures in communication and the inaccurate reporting of a significant injury clearly demonstrate a severe lack of staff training and a fundamental misunderstanding of proper procedures and parental rights. This facility's practices are deeply concerning and warrant immediate attention and improvement. I will be taking legal action, and contacting the state.
Excellent daycare, great owners and well-kept facility. The teachers are very good and care about the kids, the curriculum is very good they learn a lot and have fun! Very good reputation and good ratings on the DFPS website. Takes CCS which is very helpful! Overall a really great place to send your kids to feel that they are safe and treated with love, respect and care and to know they’re learning a lot and having fun!
My son and Daughter have been at Gingerbread House, for a little over a year. We were new residents to the San Angelo Area and I was overwhelmed by having to find a new preschool, for my then 4 and 22 month old. Gingerbread House Staff and Director made my choice extremely easy. My son has now graduated their Pre-K class and is headed to Kindergarten. He is able to write his name, read Step 1 books on his own and is more than ready to start his Kinder year. My Daughter started in their youngest baby class and will soon be moving to the Toddler 3’s class. She has learned and grown so much with them. Her teacher even helped with potty training! We have never had an issue with dropping off because she is always ready to see her friends and teachers. We will be there until it is her turn to go to Kindergarten. I can not Praise Gingerbread House enough, for everything they have done. Just in the small amount of time we have been there the staff have become like family to us. I can go to work and know 100% my precious kiddos are in good hands.
I had the most bizzare encounter with Gingerbread House Pre-school! I get a phone call asking for my exhusband, and I explain I am the mother and I ask is something wrong with my son, Brayden? I was hung up on 3x. I begin to panic and drive over there immediately. When I show up, it was the DIRECTOR that hung up on me and she was SO RUDE to me about it. Mad at me for worrying. I asked for the licensing number, and she refused to give it to me at first. When she does give it to me, she says “ughh” as she goes back inside and I call her out on it. Like YOU called me. YOU hung up on ME!! AND YOU’RE MAD AT ME FOR WORRYING ABOUT MY SON!? oh noo. i’m still shaking in shock and anger. Oh, and she never told me why she called in the first place. Her name is Krista.
