It is the mission of our centers to support parents in the care of their children by providing a
safe and secure place for them to learn, socialize, and develop into responsible, intelligent citizens of our community. It is our vision to see the development of an educational program designed to maintain and enhance our delivery of a high quality, cost effective preschool. Visit our Frequently
Asked Questions page for more information about our philosophy and further details about our organization.
Libby Crumpton
Hi, I am Libby Crumpton. In 1980, I saw a real need for educational preschool for Fuquay Varina and opened Gingerbread LittleVersity Downtown. Having a background in education and being a public school teacher for 17 years, I was able to develop an educationally sound curriculum for the preschoolers. In 1988, we opened our second center, Gingerbread LittleVersity Uptown. Successfully, we opened our third center, Gingerbread LittleVersity North End, in 1997. Preschool is a very rewarding and demanding business. We have several hundreds of children who have been very successful in "real school". It is our pleasure now to be serving children of our children. I invite you to become part our our family and enjoy the fun way to learn by playing. Libby Crumpton
Owner Kelli Crumpton Ketner
Hi, my name is Kelli Crumpton Ketner. I am the general manager of Gingerbread LittleVersity Inc. I am the daughter of founders Libby and Ronnie Crumpton and have grown up in the childcare business since I was eight years old. During elementary school, I assisted teachers by reading stories to the children and playing games with them on the playground. During high school, I worked as the afterschool teacher in the winter and as a lifeguard and swim instructor during the summer. I went on to attend North Carolina State University and received my BA in Business Management. After graduation, I returned to become the director of Gingerbread LittleVersity Uptown for four years. In 1998, Ms. Libby began her retirement and I began my training for the position of general manager of the three centers. My job allows me to visit each center several times a day and be available to the directors, teachers, and parents during operating hours. Our childcare centers were started and solely owned by my family and have been in operation for over 25 years. We enjoy a homelike, small town atmosphere of attainability and a desire to treat your child as we want ours treated. Our reputation stands on its own as is exemplified by our now providing care for children of children we have served in the past. I invite you to give our schools a visit. Kelli Crumpton Ketner
