Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Theresa's Gingerbread House III is an Ohio-licensed childcare center in West Liberty serving children ages 6 weeks to 10 years with a Christian-based environment. As a Step Up To Quality Bronze-rated program and established multi-location operator with 15+ years of community service, the center offers a structured daily routine with prayer songs and integrated faith values. The center accepts Title 20 childcare assistance and publicly funded child care vouchers, making it accessible to subsidy-eligible families; all meals and snacks are provided, and it operates extended hours (5:00 AM – 5:30 PM Monday–Friday). The Bronze designation indicates lower quality recognition compared to Gold or Silver SUTQ-rated peers, and the absence of public parent reviews limits independent verification of quality experience.
