About the Provider

Description:

Rose Garden Prep exists to enhance and develop the emotional well-being and social development of our children, with a particular focus on the encouragement of a child’s natural imagination. Through our classrooms, we hope to develop social, ethical and intellectual skills, offering a variety of useful education explorations, while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive to their fullest potential.

 We take pride in our highly qualified teachers and in our communications throughout the center. We take a boutique approach to providing childcare. We strive to provide a  safe and nurturing environment where children can express their individuality, while we provide them with a variety of experiences and enhance their development. RGPD takes pride in its reputation and strives to uphold and promote values and principles, which encompass fairness and honesty.

Additional Information:

We believe in the value of human diversity and the fair treatment of all people. Our values and beliefs about children are deeply rooted in the history of Early Childhood Education.

 

We believe all children have the right to feel good about themselves and it is the responsibility of all teachers to nurture the child’s self esteem.

 

We believe the home is the most important factor in a child’s development. We will always strive to support and complement the family in order to promote the healthy development of children and parents.

 

We believe  loving, trusting and respecting each child enables that child to love, trust and respect others. Each child and family is due the respect for personal privacy demanded by professional ethics.

 

We believe it is important to meet each child’s needs for physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth by providing diverse experiences in a supportive environment.

 

We believe each person is a unique individual and has his or her own needs. Each person has a right to meet this need their own way and in their own time. However, one of the responsibilities of having rights is recognizing and respecting the rights of others.

 

We believe children deserve to have teachers who are capable and caring and whose values enable them to be excellent role models. Our educational and guidance decisions must be based on our knowledge of child development.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I'm a parent of a student at Rose Garden Prep, and I was truly impressed by the staff there. I had heard amongst other parents that leadership had changed, so I was prepared for the worst. I can honestly say I am Pleasantly Surprised! The curriculum and the staff changes have definitely been for the better. It's the warm welcome in the morning from Mrs. Gia, the precautions all her staff take to prevent illness, and the friendly/personable educators. That's what reassures me that my child is in good hands & I've made the right choice by enrolling them into Rose Garden Prep.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I just had to write a review about how wonderful Rose Garden truly is! My son is 3 years old and it's so hard for me as a Mom to leave him but when we get to school, he runs up to his teachers every day and never looks back! The staff is professional and we love this school! They are very safe and take all the covid precautions. The only thing that I upsets me is I know one day he'll get too old to be there! We love Rose Garden!!!!!
