A Brief History
By Susan Rogers (former Teacher & former owner)The Gingerbread House Preschool was built in 1948 for two women - Margaret Cross and Rose Schweikert, who lived on this property near Prospect Park, (in a tent or a trailer, it is not sure which) while they waited for the facility to be completed.
The school was first known as the Gateway Nursery and Kindergarten School. They hired Meg Farmer, who soon became the Director, a position she held when she hired me, Susan Rogers, as a teacher in 1983. When Meg retired in 1989, I became the Director.
A year later I considered purchasing the school, and I convinced Meg to come out of retirement while I accompanied my husband on a temporary, one-year job transfer to Michigan.
Meg made it possible for me to become the owner of the Gingerbread House Preschool. Then in 1991, my husband and I returned to Redlands where I reassumed the position of Director, teacher, and owner.
With the tenuous nature of my husband’s employment in an aerospace job always having the possibility of relocating at any time, we decided to sell the school.
In June of 1994, Vincent and Inuka Weerasinghe became the new owners of the Gingerbread House Preschool.
