Greenhouse Preschool

Ginger and Greenhouse was exactly what we were looking for. We sent our daughter for 18 months and we wish we never had to take her out (we moved). Ginger's ability to care for her children and desire to go above and beyond can not be understated. The close-knit parent community that comes from the school was another cherry on top!

We felt so lucky to find Greenhouse Preschool and to find Miss Ginger! We were looking for a smaller classroom enviorment to help my son to improve his social-emotional skills and Miss Ginger certainly helped us achive our goal. We felt very welcome since day one, both from Miss Ginger as well as from the students/parents community. My son loved his time at the school so much and he was very happy to go to school every day. We were so happy with his growth and I would highly recommend Greenhouse to anyone who is looking for a caring, loving and supporting preschool!

The quality of education Miss Ginger provides is impossible to estimate. The community she inspires is also quite remarkable. Over the course of two years, we watched our little one grow with an emotional intelligence that comes from an educator who has a deep understanding of what kids need to thrive and a patience that is incomprehensible to me. Our family is truly grateful for her warmth and diligence.

Our family has had both our kids enrolled in Greenhouse since 2019 and they have had the absolute best time with Ms. Ginger. The small size of the school, the incredible families in the Greenhouse community, Ms. Gingers play-based model and focus on social-emotional learning all helped to create an environment where our kids thrived! Every day was a new adventure, Greenhouse is a place that kids can go to just be kids. Climbing trees (safely of course), playing in the mud, exploring creatures that squirm and wiggle, this type of play filled our kids with confidence and as they entered elementary school, they were not only academically prepared for kindergarten but socially prepared to make new friendships and continue their adventures in learning. It was so very hard to say goodbye to the Greenhouse family, their experiences and love for Ms. Ginger as a teacher makes you want to press pause and keep them in preschool forever. I can say with confidence that any kid who attends Greenhouse will have the time of their life and form lasting friendships that stretch well beyond pre-K.

Our son has been attending Greenhouse preschool for 2.5 years and we have been so grateful for Ginger and the Greenhouse community, and even more so during the pandemic. Our son has absolutely thrived at Greenhouse - he is naturally a bit shy, and his confidence and sense of self has absolutely blossomed because of Ginger and the safe and caring environment she nurtures. He is off to kindergarten in the fall, and he is more than ready - he exceeds all of the markers Northshore School District lays out almost entirely because of his time at Greenhouse (we have done little at home with writing, etc). More importantly, Ginger has a play-based model and a huge focus on social-emotional learning, and the skills he has learned in this regard I have no doubt will serve him for his entire life: his ability to speak up for himself, manage conflict with his peers, recognize and celebrate diversity in the world, identify and solve problems, and generally understand and feel comfortable with a range of emotions. We also love that Ginger has such a huge focus on being in nature and that he often comes home dirty - the kids play outside and in the garden for hours a day where logs are school buses, mud kitchens become slug towers, branches transform into forts. It feels like childhood as it should be, full of joy and wonder. We are sad to leave Ginger and the wonderful Greenhouse community as he goes on to the next phase of life.
