What Parents Are Saying"Rosewood Academy has been a big part of my family’s life since July of 2008. I have three daughters ranging in ages of 6 years to 3 months old. Having three children has given me the opportunity to not only meet, but also work closely with the majority of the teachers and staff at Rosewood Academy. My oldest daughter started Rosewood Academy in the Pre-K class. We all immediately fell in love with her teacher and the busy curriculum that kept her days fun and educational. Each evening she would come home, chattering away about the many things she had learned, the games she had played and the funny things that had happened during her day. My husband and I were amazed at what she was learning; sign language, science, the food pyramid, history, Spanish and current events. The weekly lessons were organized, detailed and simply impressive! And we soon discovered we were not the only ones impressed!" After starting kindergarten in the fall we had the opportunity to visit with her teacher at the first parent-teacher conference. Her teacher could not believe how well our daughter was doing and how prepared and adjusted she was for school! She said not only was she doing well with her schoolwork, she was also well mannered, followed instructions, and worked well with her peers. After telling her about Rosewood Academy and the wonderful programs they offered, her teacher went and toured Rosewood Academy for herself!" - Amy B. My second daughter started Rosewood Academy in the toddler room and is now in the preschool room. As a toddler she was a shy quiet little girl. Her teachers at Rosewood showered her with love and tenderness. They respected her nature and kindly encouraged her along. Now as a preschooler she has blossomed into a strong and independent little girl. She LOVES her school and her teachers. Not only has Rosewood given her a head start with her education, but they have also helped her come out of her shell and confidently enjoy the world around her. My third daughter recently started in the infant room. On her first day of day care, Ms. Fran, the director, took pictures and e-mailed them to me at work of my baby throughout her day. Words cannot describe how those pictures of my little girl smiling, and sleeping soundly made me feel. Not only does the Rosewood staff take great care of my children – they take care of me too. That simply gesture is just one example of what makes Rosewood so special! Rosewood Academy has given my girls opportunities they would not have otherwise had. It has made a positive impact on them and my family as a whole. Every night I thank God for leading us to Ms. Kelli, Ms. Fran and the rest of the amazing team at Rosewood Academy." — Amy B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "When we first found Rosewood we were immediately impressed. Other day cares that we had toured were older and just didn’t seem to give us that “warm fuzzy” that we got when we walked into Rosewood. Rosewood was new, bright, clean, and most important, WELCOMING!!! As we toured Rosewood we noticed how happy each staff member and child was in each of the class rooms. The kids were all busy doing fun activities and we were thrilled that our children would be a part of that one day soon. As our tour continued, we saw that there was clearly an emphasis on teaching and leading by example. My wife Kim and I knew instantly that THIS was the place that we wanted our children to be. We have now been a part of the Rosewood Family for 3 years. Our kids have learned things like Sign Language and Spanish. Our daughter, Addie learned Sign Language at Rosewood before she could even talk! Our son, Connor learned to read at age 4 in his Pre-K class. The teachers are great and they give each child all of the love and attention they need to make them feel comfortable and help them learn at their own pace. Our children love the field trips to the zoo, Vala's Pumpkin Patch, and the Rose Theatre too. They've enjoyed tumbling programs, soccer, and other great activities outside of the normal curriculum at Rosewood. As a parent, having to leave your child behind at a daycare center can be one of the hardest things you'll ever do. The staff at Rosewood gives you a sense of security that will make you feel as if you are leaving your child with family!!! This is what being a part of the Rosewood Family is all about! — Kevin and Kim Z. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "We have entrusted Kelli Hansen/Rosewood Academy to care for our child from infancy to 8 years. The last 4 years at Rosewood have been exceptional. It is comforting to know that my child is in the best care while I am at work. We feel like family at Rosewood, and the personal attention given to our child is superior. The activities at Rosewood are phenomenal. From Happy Feet to the Story Teller the children are always busy and having fun. The Rosewood staff is very qualified and talented. I would recommend Rosewood Academy to anyone looking for childcare with a family setting." —Paul and Johanna S. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hi Kelli and Fran, I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for everything today! How could such a terrible morning turn into such an unexpected, fantastic afternoon! I am so thankful for how things just worked out the way they were supposed to. Everyone in the infant room was so welcoming and genuinely interested in meeting Brooks and me. I know (without a tinge of doubt) that Brooks will be in the best hands at Rosewood. I look forward to our upcoming years together in being able to shape Brooks into a little guy we will all be so so proud of. Thank you again...I really can't thank you enough!"" — Jenni A. |
