Facility
Gingerbread House Preschool is located at 7111 No. 2 Road just
south of Granville Avenue (inside the Richmond Presbyterian Church).
We are fortunate to have a spacious classroom filled with a rich assortment
of quality play materials and equipment including dramatic play centre,
tactile activities (i.e. water table, rice table, play dough table),
puzzles and games, art, blocks and trains, and a science area.
We also have an extensive children's library as well as parenting books for adults.
The outside play area is a large fenced area with concrete,
grass and sand areas. The space is exclusively ours to use
(i.e. we don't have to share the space with other preschools).
It includes a large climbing apparatus with a slide, sand toys,
tricycles and scooters, as well as the "Gingerbread" playhouse.
