What makes Rosie's Preschool unique?

Why do you bring your child to Rosie's instead of to another preschool?

“We love Miss Rosie's preschool! ...our children are prepared for kindergarten in every way.  She has instilled in both my children the attitude that learning is an adventure.”

“I love your school! I love your school! I love your school! You are bringing out everything I had hoped for in Caroline!”

“The creative take-home projects that Rosie invents are so appealing that the child talks about the project, and they are filled with such pride of knowledge that they are motivated to explore the theme further at home.  Rosie’s enthusiasm about each theme is very catching to the child; our son comes home with a full dialogue about the theme, then concludes with “I wonder what we are going to do tomorrow at Rosie’s!”  Rosie is very professional, she has the respect of the children, is attentive and engaging with the parents, the whole package is there, this is a top-rate school!”

“I love the way Rosie thinks.  She creates a hands-on learning environment for my child.  My child gets to fully experience every subject Rosie teaches through art, stories, music, and experiments.  Rosie inspires a passion for learning.”

“Rosie Short has a gift with children.  She gains the attention and respect of the shy, the inquisitive and the active child alike.  She encourages and shows the children how to be their best.  Your child will be excited to come to preschool, will be well-prepared for kindergarten and will want to come back to ‘visit’ for years to come.”

“I love all the projects and activities that Rosie's Preschool offers.  My son will break into song throughout the day with cute songs he has learned at Rosie's.  He also learns about so many different things, for example, the other day he looked at the window and told me that the clouds in the sky were cirrus. I agreed because I didn't know! One of my favorite things he has learned at Rosie's (and that we use frequently): "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" 

“We adore Miss Rosie’s preschool.  Miss Rosie has managed to strike the perfect balance between learning and play.  We are delighted at the topics she covers during circle time.  Our son does fantastic projects and even comes home wanting to teach his younger brother manners!  Miss Rosie’s preschool is a great way for children to start their education.“

“Our daughter Claire is always excited to go to preschool!...There are a lot of preschools out there but few that can match Miss Rosie’s small class size, nurturing environment, and her experience in “classroom management” which allows great learning to happen!  Miss Rosie is also a pro at individualizing the education for your child’s needs.  You just can’t beat 20+ years of experience coupled with someone who truly loves children and teaches them well.“

“ ...Rosie is very strong in art and science: two subjects I believe are critically important for childhood development.  I’ve seen these influences throughout her lessons... Another benefit of Rosie’s Preschool and very important to us personally, is Rosie’s unique outlook on multi-cultural and multi-abled children.  Rosie explained wheelchairs and how and why people use them and it was brilliant!  Zoe is great when she sees someone is a wheelchair!  She makes appropriate comments and asks smart questions...Thank you Rosie for including these kinds of “life lessons” in your curriculum.” 

“Science is obviously a passion for Rosie.  Not only does she weave it in her lessons but she holds Science Camps during the summer. Our daughter had a great experience at the “Sampler” camp and I highly recommended them to friends from other preschools (you don’t have to be a student of Rosie’s Preschool to sign up for Science Camp so siblings and friends can join your child too!). “

“I can't say enough good things about Rosie’s Preschool. I think what I love the most is watching Kylie show or tell other people what she has learned from school with complete confidence and pride. I am always amazed at how much she learns.  Rosie's makes learning fun for the kids, the projects the kids bring home are extremely creative.”

“I feel that Rosie’s Preschool is a wonderful transitionfrom being with Mom to a ‘school’ type setting.  It’s a very safe, nurturing place, yet stimulating, fun and a place to learn without fear of mistakes.  Rosie prepares them for success when they begin their academic adventure.”
