Who We Are

Gingerbread House Preschool was established in 1979 and has had the pleasure of educating thousands of preschoolers.  We are excited to be enrolling second generation students, and are especially proud of our dedicated staff and low turnover which enables us to provide the highest quality preschool for your child.

Tammi Gubbels, the administrator, received her bachelors in education from  the University of Nebraska at Lincoln and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. She spent seven years as a high school English, speech, and drama teacher as well as a speech coach.  When her daughter, Daiten, was born she "retired" from full time teaching and eventually joined the GBH family when Daiten enrolled as a student.  Before becoming our administrator Tammi was a mom-helper; substitute, summer school, and full-time teacher; and held several administrative duties including developing curriculum, our Parent's Day Out program, and S.T.E.A.M. classes.

Our school was founded by Doris Kirke and Sherry Lackovic, who served as directors for 39 years.
