What Parents Say
4 reviews from parents
Rose and Buds is a warm, close-knit preschool. Their focus on play and outdoor learning, while fostering a nurturing atmosphere has been the ideal first school for my son.
We love Rose and Buds! Rose creates such a warm and caring atmosphere for all the kiddos. As the name would imply, there’s a large emphasis on play and open ended learning, which my kid thrives on.
My daughter went to Rose and Buds and we all loved the whole experience there. She loved it so much we signed her up for summer camp as well. Rose and all the staff are lovely and take such good care of our kid and kept us up to date. It was such a joyful environment and community we are still in touch with the families that we met there! Thank you Rose for caring for our little one!
Rose and Buds is such a wonderful, caring environment that it’s hard to find the right words. We have grown with Rose and Buds from the start and have had nothing but an incredible experience. Our beloved teacher Rose has been a caring, committed, and incredibly understanding figure for our daughter during major periods of growth and development. If you’re looking for a low teacher:child ratio, beautifully and thoughtfully designed space, emphasis on care and love and emotional learning - this is it.
